Can you heat the clay in an oven at 200 degrees to expedite the drying time?
Denny loves colorful questions! Crayola Air-Dry Clay is designed to air-dry. My pack tells me that exposing the clay to high heat sources may cause drying out, cracking, and browning. I wouldn't want your sculpture made with Air-Dry Clay to get ruined, so it's best to allow it to air-dry. Hope this helps!

What is the coldest temperature I can store my sealed container of air dry clay?
Denny has the details! Most Crayola products should be stored in temperatures between 40 and 100 degrees Fahrenheit. However, my pack has informed me that exposing Crayola Air-Dry Clay to freezing temperatures does not impair its working properties and it can be used after thawing. Hope this helps!

What kind of paint can I use? And can I use a glaze of some sort after , if so what kind?
Denny here and I've got you covered! Once the Crayola Air-Dry Clay is thoroughly dry, which generally takes 24 hours to dry to the touch and 72 hours to dry completely, you may paint the dry clay with tempera, acrylic or watercolor paints.
Air-dry clay can also be sealed once completely dry with an acrylic varnish. We suggest testing the compatibility of the varnish before applying it to a finished piece.
If you need further assistance with your colorful masterpieces, please give the Colorful Care Team a call at 1-800-CRAYOLA or visit the art techniques section on our website. Be sure to tell them Denny sent you!

What's the best kind of paint to use once the clay is dry?
Denny here & I've got the decorating tips for you! Once the Crayola Air-Dry Clay is thoroughly dry, your masterpieces can be painted with tempera, acrylic or watercolor paint.
Permanent pigment-based markers work well for writing words on clay. To add a bit of sparkle, try glitter glue. Hope this helps!

Air bake clay- if I place it in a tiny terracotta pot will it adhere to the pot after it is dry? If not will I be able to glue the dried clay into the pot? And can I glue objects to it as well after the clay dries, such as tiny stones, glitter, moss, etc?
Denny here. I've checked with my pack and here's the scoop. The Crayola Air-Dry Clay can be glued onto the terra cotta pot once it has fully dried, which takes about 72 hours of air drying. It should never be fired in a kiln or oven to dry.
Fully dried pieces of air-dry clay can be sealed with an acrylic varnish, but they are not waterproof. We recommend displaying the artwork indoors.
Yes, you can decorate your fully-dried pieces with a variety of embellishments. We recommend using an adhesive, such as white school glue, Crazy Glue or Gorilla Glue, to secure the decorations and to glue the piece of art to the terra cotta pot. I hope this helps.
For additional tips give our Colorful Care Team a call at 1-800-CRAYOLA. Be sure to tell them Denny sent you!

Hello! Does this have any gluten-containing ingredients? Is it safe for children with Celiac disease?
Denny has the answer! At this time, Crayola Air-Dry Clay does not contain wheat or other grains known to be a source of gluten. However, a few of our products contain wheat (flour) as an ingredient. Multiple Crayola products are produced in the same manufacturing facilities and on the same machinery. While there is a slight chance of cross-contamination, the machinery used to manufacture Crayola products is cleaned between production runs in a manner that meets or exceeds all regulations. Be sure to contact us with any questions at 1-800-CRAYOLA.

How many ornaments can you make out of one tub of air dry clay
Hi Sall,
I thought you’d never ask! Well, it all depends on the size and thickness of the ornaments you are making.
My pals tell me one pound of Air Dry Clay should equal about 1 measuring cup. This should help size up how much Air-Dry Clay your project will need! Happy crafting. - Denny

Can you rush the curing time?
Denny's got this! Crayola Air-Dry Clay generally takes 24 hours to dry to the touch; 72 hours to dry completely. My pack says it may help to speed up the process by leaving your piece in a well-ventilated room and turning your pieces periodically to ensure all sides are exposed to air. Hope this helps!
