For kids, oven-bake clay comes in colorful choices that can be sculpted and shaped. Once they have the shape they want, an adult can quickly and easily bake these creations in a conventional oven. Let them cool and then finish with more colorful paints. Or, apply a clay glaze before baking to achieve a shiny-smooth result.
