Clay is one of my favorite art supplies for kids! With tons of colors and zero rules, you have the freedom to create anything you want when you craft with clay. You can roll clay into a tube, smash it into a pancake, mix your own colors, and everything in between. I absolutely loved crafting with oven bake clay as a child, so when I got the chance to give away a Sculpey III 30 Color Sampler and Tool Kit on AllFreeKidsCrafts, I just had to share a few of my favorite clay projects for kids.

Boys and girls alike will love these easy clay projects, so be sure to browse the entire list. Even if you’ve never tried making your own polymer clay projects before, these ideas are sure to turn you into a clay enthusiast!

The amazing thing about polymer clay jewelry is that no one will be able to believe your new accessories came out of the oven, not out of a store. These pretty polymer clay craft ideas are perfect for girls who want to show off their style and their crafting prowess all in one project.
