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.
Pros: Its awesome. Cons: Very hard to find. Smelly winegum smell. Packaging sucks. Sort of Expensive.
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, ...
Pros: soft, pliable, easy to work with Cons: nearly impossible to store for any length of time
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....
Pros: Soft and easy to work with Cons: Can not be stored in original Pkgs.
Crayola Model Magic
I purchased this Model Magic for my grand children at Christmas time, at our Staples store, so when they visit me they will have something to keep them occupied with.
Pros: Squishy fun, intriguingly weird-feeling Cons: Not reusable, not available in glow-in-the-dark metallic colors or with glitter
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.

I was first introduced to this clay in a college class called, "Art For the Elementary Age Child" about 4 years ago. In class we were given the assignment to come up with unique art projects that could be done by young children. One of the...

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...

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