What is the difference between Crayola Air-Dry Clay, Model Magic, and Modeling Clay?

Crayola® Air-Dry Clay

  • This clay gradually hardens into a durable solid over time, gaining strength.

Crayola Model Magic®

  • An air-drying modeling compound, Crayola Model Magic remains lightweight and retains some flexibility even after drying.

Crayola Modeling Clay

  • Unlike the other two, this is a non-drying modeling compound, allowing for sculpting, squishing, and reuse for endless creative enjoyment.
