This has got to be one of the best child's sculpting clay-like substances available. Our 8-year old played with this stuff at his art camp last summer and it was an instant success. Throughout the week, it was his absolutely most favorite thing to work with. We got him this bucket so that he could keep working with this at home and his creativity really showed through -- not only with the four basic colors but mixing them to make all the colors of the rainbow. He has now now worked through 3-4 buckets of this and his projects are consistently getting better, more interesting, and more complex as he learns to think ahead through the sculpting process.
The stuff is clean, does not smell, cleans up easily, and works well with fingers and tools. It will retain its pliancy for a long time in the bucket --- which means that it does take a while to lose its softness and stiffen up into a final product. On the whole, we highly, highly recommend this.

We were introduced to this clay at a craft workshop at Michael's Craft store. My daughter (3 1/2) loves crafting, but rarely sticks with one activity for long. But after an hour of crafting, she didn't want to leave. The clay is nice and soft, smooth, and light, and much easier to work with than Play Doh (but of course, more expensive). I enjoyed playing with it, too.
The instructor suggested working on wax paper to make sure it doesn't stain a table. I didn't notice any staining except when my daughter wet the clay the next day because I told her that something had hardened and she thought she could soften it up again by adding water (oops). Then it stained her hands and the paper she was working on. But under normal conditions, so far so good.
It's not the kind of project that you can start and then walk away from and expect to come back to it and keep molding the clay hours later... it does stiffen up to the point of not being very pliable within a couple of hours, and it's dry in about 24 hours. It remains a little soft even after it dries, though... like, if you stuck your fingernail into it, it would leave an indent.
Once you stick two colored pieces together, you can't separate them neatly (unless they were both already stiffened), so it's a little difficult to correct mistakes.
Highly recommended for kids 3 and up.

this stuff is great for the whole family. it is more pricey than other clays, but it is very different too. when it dries, it retains its form while also remaining soft to the touch, with a little give. use to build or craft... possibilities are endless. makes a great gift, and crayola also offers project plans online, as well as many other crafting sites.

A very small pack for the price
I was surprised by how little clay you got for the price, but I'm very pleased overall. Model Magic is by far THE best clay on the market for little kids. Read more

packages smaller than I thought.
My fault for not reading the information closely. The amount of clay you get is smaller than the box would suggest. Next time read the description more closely.

Not a fan of model magic but. . .
The kids do love it and this is THE package to get. The variety of colors in the small individual packs is the way to go. The few times we've purchased the larger packs. . . Read more

Love love love! So much better than play-doh
I bought this for my daughter's dinosaur party, to aid in fossil making as an activity. Our party guests pushed dinos into a disc of Model Magic and it really showed the detail! Read more

It's okay
There isn't a lot of clay for the price. I'm sure there are better deals out there. It suited its purpose though.

Very good product. Good for small kids.
This product is good for kids all ages. You can mix colors together, to make other colors.
Also, it can be preserved in a closed bag, after opening. So it can be reused.
