  • To Model or Not To Model Magic?

    Apr 08 '01
    Pros: It can be painted, decorated and won't color.
    Cons: One time use only. May stain clothes.

    Summary: I discovered Model Magic as a substitute to children with special needs. When I first saw it I thought it was playdough, then I thought it was clay. Well, it is neither. It is an entity all it’s own. It has its good points and bad.

    This...

  • Imagination is Magic

    Mar 17 '05
    Pros: Its awesome.
    Cons: Very hard to find. Smelly winegum smell. Packaging sucks. Sort of Expensive.

    Summary: How awesome is this stuff? Well this stuff is like play-doh on steroids. You can make just about anything with Crayola Model Magic. Craft yourself a pair of one of a kind earrings, turn a cartoon character you've sketched into a mascot for your desk, ...

  • Modeling Clay for the 21st Century

    Oct 22 '01
    Pros: fun and easy to use, 4 color choices, air-dries, lightweight
    Cons: cost, dries quickly

    Summary: Crayola Model Magic resembles modeling clay except that Crayola made it way cooler!

    My kids adore it! I mean really and truly love it. They ask for it in their Christmas lists, tease for it at the store and smile excitedly when I take out a...

  • This stuff rocks! I have a Magic Model right here!

    Oct 11 '01
    Pros: Squishy fun, intriguingly weird-feeling
    Cons: Not reusable, not available in glow-in-the-dark metallic colors or with glitter

    Summary: I am a mature adult. I have mature adult interests, like filing status for taxes and whether I'm eating enough vegetables. I do not spend all my time watching old movies and making little animals out of modeling clay.

    Nevertheless, that was...

  • Model student

    Oct 06 '01
    Pros: soft, pliable, easy to work with
    Cons: nearly impossible to store for any length of time

    Summary: To begin with, I'll admit that I'm probably a bit older than the average Model Magic user; heck, I don't even have kids yet. When I tear open that foil bag, I'm not planning on constructing a horsey or a little car. I've got something else in mind....

  • Better than Play-Doh!

    Jul 23 '01
    Pros: Colorful, versatile, easy to mold, dries overnight, can be painted/decorated
    Cons: must be used immediately, may stain clothing

    Summary: This stuff is incredible! My kids and I have had SO much fun with this stuff. It is very soft, almost foamy feeling, which makes it very easy to mold and shape. Each color is separately packaged but you can blend two or more colors together and come up...

  • Modeling Magic made Easy!!!!

    Jun 24 '01
    Pros: very soft, great for little ones, and comes in cool colors!
    Cons: one time use, may stain, and doesn't dry well!

    Summary: My Mom went to college to be a teacher and came back with packs of Model Magic that she had bought as a present. We opened them right away, noticing after, that they dried in 24 hours! When we opened them up, we found out they weren't...

  • A Real Sanity Saver

    Mar 06 '01
    Pros: Nice feel, primary colors, encourages imagination, great stress reliever
    Cons: may stain if hands are wet, packages don't seal shut

    Summary: Every once in a while I will purchase Crayola's Model Magic for either a school project or just for play. It is by far better than Play-Doh in terms of texture, consistency, and mess factor.

    Last week, before I left with my 4 children to fly...

  • Look out Donatello!

    Feb 09 '01
    Pros: Fun and easy to work with.
    Cons: Unable to store in original container.

    Summary: Model Magic is modeling clay for kids. It is easy to work with, comes in a variety of colors, and air dries in a few hours. Kids can really be creative with this clay.

    The first thing I noticed about this clay is how "fluffy" it felt. It...

  • Model Magic...Magic Fun

    Dec 02 '00
    Pros: very soft, easy to use
    Cons: Not good for tall or large products

    Summary: I was amazed at how soft and durable Model Magic was when i first used it. I think that it is the best clay for kids to play with on the market today. It comes in a lot of colors which allows children to be as creative as the mind allows.

  • Better than playdoe

    Sep 05 '00
    Pros: NO mess
    Cons: Takes 24 hours to dry

    Summary: I purchased the whole Model Magic kit for my son on his birthday. I was at first afraid that it make a big mess and leave itsy, bitsy pieces of clay all over, like the other leading brands, like playdoe and clay. But, to my suprise it didn't. It is a...

  • Magic?? You Bet!

    Aug 30 '00
    Pros: Inexpensive, Imaginative, Fun
    Cons: Can stain, "melt", may not keep long

    Summary: My Mom first introduced us to Model Magic, giving my then 2 1/2 yr. old a bag to play with. I couldn't pry it from her hands for days, until it dried up because she wouldn't let me put it in a bag. She's since had much more of it pass through her...

  • If you think Play-Doh's great, try Model Magic!

    Aug 11 '00
    Pros: easy to mold, not sticky
    Cons: not a variety of colors, expensive

    Summary: As a child, I loved playing with Play-Doh. But, unfortunately, along with the fun comes the mess! While working at a daycare this summer, I found a product that works just as well as Play-Doh, but without the sticky mess.

    Crayola Model...

  • Great Time Consumer

    Jul 22 '00
    Pros: Fun for the kids, clay is light and bouncy
    Cons: Stains work surfaces

    Summary: I'm playing nanny for the summer for my best friend's grandson. My only responsibility is to keep him busy and happy enough to forget that his mother is just up the stairs in her home office. The Crayola Model Magic has been great in fitting this...

  • Messes Magically Minimized with Crayola

    Jul 04 '00
    Pros: easy clean up, doesn't crumble, doesn't stick as bad to carpet, furniture, etc. as other materials do
    Cons: basic colors, only, not packaged in resealable containers, moderately expensive

    Summary: I, too, received a sample of Crayola Model Magic at my local Hallmark. I didn't really know what it was and basically left it on my kitchen counter. A few days later while my two year old was in the middle of a melt-down and I was looking for a...
