Pepy Reusable Non-Drying Modeling Clay Set — 48 Bars (24 Colors)
Product description
This boxed kit contains 48 individual modeling clay bars, with each piece weighing 1.4 ounces. The set includes two bars of each of 24 colors, providing a broad palette for mixing and sculpting. The combined clay weight is approximately 4.24 pounds.
Formulated primarily from vegetable-derived ingredients rather than heavy oils, the material delivers a higher perceived volume per ounce compared with some traditional oil-based plastilinas. The texture is soft and pliable for shaping, yet holds detail well for small sculptures and figures.
Designed to be non-drying and reusable, the clay can be kneaded and reshaped many times without hardening. It is described as non-staining and easy to clean from hands and most surfaces, so creations won’t leave lasting marks like some oily clays do.
The color range comprises: white, lemon yellow, yellow, orange, scarlet, red, pink, hot pink, purple, light blue, sky blue, dark blue, aqua, pastel green, light green, dark green, forest green, cream, brown, dark brown, grey, and black — two bars of each hue are included to reduce the need for immediate refills.
Safety information: the clay is non-toxic, CPSIA-certified, and gluten-free. It is recommended by the manufacturer for children ages 3 years and up, making it suitable for preschool activities, classroom projects, hobbyists, and stop-motion animation figure-making.

Expect occasional duplicated shades and a slightly firmer feel for very youn

Great for advancing projects
This plastilina is ideal for kids who have outgrown air-dry clays and want to build more complex pieces. My 8-year-old uses it for stop-motion and has been very enthusiastic. Note: finished pieces tend to appear around the house, so plan display or storage space.

Nice sensory activity for groups
Great for daycare and group settings. Smooth, odor-free, and enough bars to serve several children at once.

Really impressed — pleasant scent, no drying, and a useful range of tones. Worked well for kids’ stop-motion projects at our camp.

Excellent for stop-motion figures
We used this set to sculpt characters for stop-motion. The clay is smooth, non-sticky, and holds detail while remaining easy for kids to shape. The double bars per color helped avoid mid-project shortages.

Bright, pliable, and kid-friendly
Used at a community craft event — kids aged 5–12 loved the variety. The bars were soft enough for cutters and texture tools, and both younger and older children had fun creating animals and plants.

Popular with the kids
The texture is soft and very workable compared to larger, harder blocks I’ve had before. A classroom-friendly quantity and vivid colors make it a good choice for group use.
