Air Dry Clay Kit-24 Colors

The Xiosag Air Dry Clay kit contains 24 packs of 50g clay each, which is three times the amount found in ordinary packaging. This means that you can create more and larger clay artworks. The kit also includes upgraded carving tools, a tutorial book, an accessories roller, and an embossing model. Fun animal accessories are included to help shape and decorate your creations. This model magic clay art kit is suitable for both kids and adults.

The new packaging features a rotary screw cup lid for clay storage and preservation, preventing the air clay from drying out due to the expansion and opening of the cup lid. The old stamped cup lid is no longer used.

There are 24 different colors of Xiosag modeling clay for kids in the kit. We’ve chosen these colors to meet children’s needs without overwhelming them. The texture is soft and non-sticky, and it won’t fade after repeated kneading. The natural air drying process ensures that it doesn’t crack. It’s made of natural safety materials and is non-toxic.

The Xiosag air dry clay kit is an ideal choice for school art courses. It can enhance eye-hand coordination, stimulate imagination and creativity, and contribute to sensory development. It’s perfect for rainy days and a variety of indoor activities.

In addition, Xiosag ultralight clay is a fun toy for kids. It makes a great gift set that keeps children away from electronic products, allowing them to DIY various models and create exquisite fun decorative toys. It’s a meaningful birthday gift and Christmas surprise for boys and girls.

If you like repeating cross stitch designs, borders you can use on other projects or as bookmarks, florals and Japanese-inspired designs, you’ll want to check out 200 Japanese Cross Stitch Designs by Saeko Endo. This collection of 200 cross stitch charts is low on instruction but big on inspiration for those who are comfortable taking a chart and running with it.

The book includes a brief introduction to the needed supplies and basics of stitching, but mostly is just photographs of finished designs and the charts that go with them. The charts vary widely in size and there can be anywhere from one to six charts printed on a single page.

Many of the designs are repeating patterns, but the chart shows a larger version so you can see how the repeats go together. Each chart has marked what portion is repeating and how many stitches and rows it includes. Other than that the charts are not numbered, but there are darker lines every five rows to help you count.

The patterns all range from one to three colors, and some include half cross stitches or back stitching, but most are full stitches.

The book is arranged into categories of motifs: geometric patterns, retro patterns, traditional Japanese patterns, floral and fauna and borders and pictorial motifs.

My favorites are the Japanese designs, many of which are recognizable from woodcuts, kimono designs and traditional shashiko embroidery. You’ll find cherry blossoms, suns, knots, and simple line designs that would be lots of fun to stitch.

There are a few pages devoted to different ways to modify charts such as changing colors, changing the way to design is repeated, flipping and rotating designs.

Other than that you’re on your own for how you actually want to use these designs. Of course they can just be stitched and framed but it might have been nice to see some of the projects stitched and staged in a way you might use them in everyday life (repeating motifs as coasters, or a bigger design turned into a pillow, for example).

Sometimes it helps to see designs used in different ways to get you thinking about how you might use them yourself. If you don’t need that creative push, this is a fine book full of patterns you’ll have fun playing with in different ways.

About the book: 112 pages, paperback, 200 patterns. Published 2025 by David & Charles. Suggested retail price $24.99.
