Testing Jumping Clay with a 50g pack


When opening the pack of clay, it looks sticky, it's a alcohol base clay


Extremely soft, at time sticky, it will be quite difficult to form shapes, unless
the kid is already skilled in clay creation. Rolling balls is easy.


Forming shape and support can be difficult, example above, Dog


Through the process of drying the Jumping Clay Dog, it  just collapsed,
testing the beads by throwing onto the table top it will bounced with
cured or uncured clay


Twenty four hours curing is still not enough to cure or dry the Jumping clay


The core of the bead is still wet as shown in the above after twenty four hours


For Jumping Clay to dry inside out (as above), you need about  72 hours 
of curing time (exposure to the air) and that also depend on the size
 of your project.

Polymer clays are non-tonic, durable man-made, oven bake art modeling 
clay. The medium can be combined with other materials, such as wood, plaster, 
metal, paper, foils, etc, to enhance creativity in many art projects. The texture is 
similar to ceramic clay, but it will not dry out when exposed to air. Therefore, 
you can create fine detail and unlimited possiblities into your clay creations.

Finally, all the effort put into making the clay pieces by Children or Adult 
must be durable as momentos or gifts that can last for a long period of 
time, 30 years and more.
