I am thinking of making pots and bowls using the air dry clay.

Anyone knows whether I can find it in Singapore ?

Discovery Corner at Thomson Plaza carries toys from this brand. We once bought a crochet set for my dd's friend's birthday from this brand. Perhaps you can call and check if they are bringing this in or if they can bring it in for you.

I bought red and green clay, and we were able to make red roses with green leaves. My 6 year old girl made the roses and leaves by herself, I only helped her to make the stem. My girl really enjoys making the roses, and it is a great way for me to de-stress too.

Wow... they are really pretty! Your girl has got great motor skills!

Thanks Chief


I guess it is because she has lots of time for free play, and we have many arts and craft materials around in the house so that she can develop her fine motor skills

Dear all,

Here are the instructions to make the clay roses.

It is actually quite easy. The roses we make do not look exactly like the ones in the webpage :oops: we are still practicing hehehe

These are also non-toxic air dry clay with some ideas what you can make:

This is what we play with.

i agree that for children, it is more prudent to use non-toxic clay.
Crayola has a non-toxic air dry clay called \"model magic\" that is very suitable for children. once model is done, just leave it to dry.
will be harden the next day.
