Air Clay Objects: Easy Patterns and Step by Step Master Classes for Kids
Previously, for many people was known only for ordinary plasticine. It was created in 1880. It would seem that for a long time people had to sit and painstakingly try to give volume to their product.
After a long period of time the Belarusian brand of educational toys Genio Kids has developed everyone's favorite air plasticine. The volume of sold products for all the time of presence on the market has increased exactly twice, since the introduction.
Features of air plasticine
Production is a complex and time-consuming process. For half a year, various variations of the realization of the product were developed.
What is air plasticine? This is the name of the plastic colored mass, which consists of water, polymers and food dyes. Due to the fact that the solidification temperature is equal to room temperature, the product is forced to be in an airtight package.
The material is pleasant, with a neutral odor. Pluses are also that it does not stick to anything: not to the body, the table, clothing. Freezing speed depends on the size of the object. Therefore, the freezing interval is from 2 to 10 hours.
Finished products will go well with other toys. Because of the non-toxic material, this type of creativity is allowed even to non-adult children.
Easy air plasticine crafts for kids
The mass stretches well. Thanks to this, it is possible to make large and light crafts. For children, the second option is most suitable. Let's look at examples.
Animals
Let's analyze the way of making sea fish.

- It is required to mix water and starch. Water must be added until the manufactured substance becomes viscous.
- After introducing the baking soda, stirring the mass and send it to warm on the stove.
- Wait for the substance to take the desired properties.
Now you know how to create wonderful crafts without the adventures of shopping.
