I went to Michael's arts and crafts store to see if I could find something to do at the hotel while I was there out of sheer boredom. I found the clay and decided to buy some for grins and giggles.
that night, I made what looked like a bear, a few flowers, and a little grass mound. I let the individual pieces dry for 24 hrs. the next night, I used some tacky all purpose glue to fill in the areas where the clay met (like where I connected the bear arm to the body) etc, then let that dry.
A few hours after the glue dried, I got some acrylic paint, and painted the grass, the flowers, and made the bear into a panda. After the paint dried, I glued the bear to the grass mound, glued one of the flowers to the mound, and put one flower on the Panda's paw. I clued some cute google eyes on the panda, and let everything dry again.
In the end I had a really cute panda figurine. A lot cuter than I thought I could get with cheap children's clay. I've since made 2 more panda figurines.
The clay was actually pretty nice clay, easy to use, it didn't crack and crumble, while moist, you can put the clay together and it holds, it's soft and easy for little hands to mold, and it stays moist for a fairly long time as you work it. It obviously has its limitations. If you want to make intricate sculptures, this isn't a clay for that... but it's a fun clay for all ages, where you can make cute little art projects you can put on display.
EDIT:: 7/1/12
There are a few different types of Crayola air dry clay. This is sculpting clay, and when it says "white" they do NOT mean "white". It's more of a tan color. it also does not dry white. not sure why they call it white at all. There is another Crayola air dry clay you can get at places like Michael's arts and crafts, it's a foamier clay that comes in various colors, and when they say white, they mean white as snow. So if you're looking for that clay, don't order this one. This is a sculpting clay for more professional sculpts. it's a good clay, and dries hard as a rock... but it is not white.
I've been able to create some pretty good looking peices using this air dry clay. It arrived a bit too moist and that made it feel tacky or gummy when working with it so I left the lid off overnight and it worked out perfectly.
Like other people here have stated if the clay gets too dry adding a bit of water at a time will liven it back up quickly. This can also be used to fuse layers of the clay together or smooth out cracks that form in thicker areas.
The clay does not like to be thick as it dries it will crack, i made a slip with a small batch of very watery clay and kept a close eye on the mask that was made. Rubbing the slip over the surface kept the surface of the clay moist as the inside dried slowly. I also used this to fill in any small fissures in the thicker areas.
If I were doing a larger project I'd manage it in layers and score one side so I could use a loose clay as a glue once the smaller parts were dry.
It does leave a white residue on clothes and hands, but this washed off and out fine, and I didn't notice any staining, however it is a craft / art product and should be treated like one.
It worked but It also cracked when dry, even though there was no water left. I even put more on and it too cracked. only bad thing. Am going to paper clay. For peoples information polymer clay works great on glass bottles. Just make you design and bake it then glue well to glass.
