Cloud Clay™ is as light as air … AP certified non-toxic and safe to use! This soft, puffy, and pliable modeling material is fun to squeeze, shape or mold. Cloud Clay has more ‘stretch’ than other brands, so fibers won’t break when pulled apart, projects are more durable, even for the smallest details.  Sticks to itself and not to hands. Colors blend well and mix with acrylics! Shrinks very little, so it can be used over armature including balloons!
