Once they’ve made something worth keeping, it can be baked to preserve the creation.

Polymer Clays are a great sensory experience with instant gratification as the finished product is hardened in the oven.
Here are some considerations and tips for polymer clay crafting with kids:
- Age: Polymer clay is generally ok for children aged 6 and above. Do consider the process of baking the clay, and the tools which are often sharp. Cutters, blades and spike tools shouldn’t be handled by children. Likewise, baking should be handled by an adult. Always supervise children closely when using polymer clay.
- Softening the clay: Polymer clay can be firm when first taken out of the package, which may require some kneading and conditioning to make it softer and more pliable. Younger kids may need help with this step, as it can require some strength and dexterity. Sculpey Liquid or Solid Clay Softeners will make this process a little easier.
- Safety precautions: Polymer clay is non-toxic when properly used and cured, but it should not be ingested. Make sure kids understand that polymer clay is not for eating, and always wash hands thoroughly after handling the clay. Avoid using polymer clay on surfaces that come into direct contact with food.
- Tools and accessories: Polymer clay can be shaped and manipulated using various tools, such as plastic knives, cookie cutters, and rolling pins. Kids can also use their fingers or simple household items for texture and shaping. Avoid using sharp or dangerous tools that may not be suitable for kids.
- Baking process: Polymer clay requires baking in a portable toaster oven or a regular home oven according to the instructions on the pack. This step may require adult supervision and assistance, as the oven can get hot. Always follow proper baking guidelines and ventilation recommendations to ensure safety.
- Creativity and experimentation: Polymer clay offers endless possibilities for kids to explore their creativity and experiment with different techniques, colours, and designs. Encourage kids to have fun and express themselves freely with the clay, allowing them to create their own unique creations.
- Easy clean-up and storage: Polymer clay can leave a slightly oily residue on some surfaces and tools, so be sure to clean up using a damp cloth after each use. A mild kitchen detergent may help. Store any unbaked polymer clay in a plastic storage container or plastic wrap to keep it soft and pliable for future use. It won’t dry out in the short term if left in the open air. Any clay beginning to feel dry can be revived with clay softener.
By following these tips, polymer clay can be a safe and enjoyable creative material for kids to use in their arts and crafts projects, fostering their imagination and artistic skills. Whether in a school classroom environment or a holiday activity at home.
