Specially designed for young learners, this easy-to-mould clay supports a variety of creative and curriculum-based projects such as modelling animals, insects, name plaques, and imaginative sculptures. The soft and pliable texture allows children to shape their designs with their hands or tools. Once left to air dry at room temperature for 24 hours, the clay hardens to a smooth, light grey finish, ready for painting and decorating.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis clay can also be used with the pottery wheel (AM1261) to form bowls, plates, or vases. For more permanent results, it may be kiln-fired at 1100 °C to 1200 °C (2012 °F to 2192 °F) under adult supervision, transforming it into porcelain. Children can then customise their pieces using porcelain paints and protect the final product with a varnish coating. These activities build fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and instil a sense of accomplishment in learners. The 10kg bulk pack includes 10 x 1kg individually sealed packs, making it practical for group activities or art programs. This product is gluten, wheat and lactose free, making it safe and inclusive for all students.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEducational Use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSupports fine motor and coordination skills\u003c\/strong\u003e - through hands-on modelling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePromotes creative thinking and self-expression\u003c\/strong\u003e - with open-ended sculpting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLinks to curriculum learning\u003c\/strong\u003e - through themed or science-based models.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEncourages pride in finished artwork\u003c\/strong\u003e - with take-home or gift-worthy pieces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClassroom Ideas\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel bugs, animals or symbols\u003c\/strong\u003e - from science or culture units.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUse with a pottery wheel\u003c\/strong\u003e - to craft functional ceramic items.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCreate gift projects\u003c\/strong\u003e - such as keepsakes, ornaments or mini sculptures.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePaint and varnish finished pieces\u003c\/strong\u003e - to enhance and protect children's work.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10kg Grey Air Dry Ceramic Clay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContains 10 x 1kg individually wrapped packs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: Creatistics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour\u003c\/strong\u003e: Grey (dries to light grey)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrying Time\u003c\/strong\u003e: 24 hours at room temperature\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKiln Firing\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes - 1100 °C to 1200 °C (2012 °F to 2192 °F)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Smooth and paintable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSealable\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes - can be varnished after decorating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShelf Life\u003c\/strong\u003e: Approx. 1.5 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStorage\u003c\/strong\u003e: Store in an airtight container to prevent drying\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReactivation\u003c\/strong\u003e: Add water to restore pliability if dried out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAllergens\u003c\/strong\u003e: Free from gluten, wheat and lactose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSafety\u003c\/strong\u003e: Non-toxic and suitable for educational use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour Options Available\u003c\/strong\u003e: Grey, White, Terracotta\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePack Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10kg (10 x 1kg packs)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Creatistics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42238332567665,"sku":"KC1023","price":44.45,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0626\/7633\/6753\/files\/kc1023_creatistics-air-dry-ceramic-clay-grey-10kg_v1_5.jpg?v=1760000859","url":"https:\/\/teaching.co.nz\/products\/creatistics-air-dry-ceramic-clay-10-kg-grey","provider":"Modern Teaching Aids NZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
