Best way to buy this item. The retail packages of this clay comes in bigger packages - so kids open it and need to use a whole bunch of it before it dries. This ones has tons of small packages - one of each color usually enough to entertain the kids for an hour or more.

When I was introduced to Model Magic, I knew we needed to have some available to our teachers. It is lightweight, easy to use, the colors mix together easily, and does not make a mess. Plus it dries on its own.

We've already used it with our students to make the signs and symbols
of Christmas. The kids really had fun with it.

I bought this to use through the year as I homeschool both of my children. It's a great alternative to play dough and regular modeling clay. It's easy to work with and clean, doesn't leave stains or stick to your hands (or shirts!). When they are done with their project, it can either stay out and air dry or go back into a sealed container/bag and stay fresh. Good stuff!

My kids love playing with this stuff, and what little mess there is is easily cleaned up. It is also paintable. I would advise if you buy this class pack, to hide the box and only hand out one or two packs at a time. Otherwise the kids break into the box, use it up very quickly and don't put as much thought into what they are making.

They (11, 9, 6) love, love LOVE model magic. It is supple, very lightweight and easy to work with, and they create little animals for their block and lego buildings, or flowers and other art projects for me to display, or tiny little game pieces for board games they make up, and so on. This price is such a bargain, it will keep your kids entertained for months.

My husband likes this stuff much more than playdoh, because it doesn't smell and doesn't crumble into little pieces and get ground into the rug. It does harden pretty quickly if left out, so a single bag may not have as many repeated uses as playdoh, but honestly, playdoh gets pretty gross after a few sessions anyway. With these very affordable 1 oz bags, you can just open another one when the first one dries.

Highly recommend this for any child who is beyond putting toys and inedible objects into their mouth.

My kids love model magic, great for all those school projects. Easy to paint once dry. You can also mix colors (with a lot of kneading) to make secondary colors. And in the classpack it comes in nice small foil pouches so less is wasted.

It stays moist for at least 2 years in the pouch (that is how long our last box lasted). Once modeled, it dries in 24-48 hours to a very lightweight and sort of foamlike consistency. It does NOT have a shiny surface when dry.

Each 1 oz packet when rolled into a sphere about 2 inches in diameter. I uploaded a photo of one packet worth with a ruler and a soda can so you can see what volume it takes up. Since the stuff is quite light, it is fairly large.

However, when ordering from Gamingect the pouches came all mixed together in a regular cardboard box. This does not bother me much, as I already had the box pictured (with the lift up flap lid) from my previous order. That box had nice dividers in it for the 4 colors so you could see at a glance how much of each was left. It may be that this is how the product is shipped now. I preferred the old box that is pictured in the photo. I did not deduct any stars, since the box is not the product itself.

We've used this clay for years and love the way it works as a soft easy to use clay and then dries overnight. Was glad to find these small pouches as opening the big packages needs immediate air tight storage or you've lost the clay to air dry.
We've had hours of fun.

I ordered this for a family day project. They are packaged with the perfect amount in each pack. The price is great. This product has been a favorite of mine for awhile. No color staining, no crumbling, etc. I'll order the class pack again.

I gave these as gifts to students! They all loved it and I use it when teaching formations of numbers and letters.
