Eraser Lab Craft Kit

Before You Begin

Set up your work area first. Lay down paper towels or another protective covering to catch any mess.
Lay out everything in the kit so it's all within reach before you begin.
Cover your work surface with parchment paper, a plastic mat, or an old tray because the clay can stain or damage carpets, clothing, and porous surfaces.
Ask an adult to preheat the oven to 110 to 130°C (230 to 265°F).
Always ask an adult for help when using the oven.
Never microwave the clay.
Do not bake the erasers for more than 20 minutes.
Wash your hands after making your erasers.
Store any leftover clay in a plastic bag or container with a lid.

Step 1: Soften the Clay

Choose the clay colors you want to use.
Warm the clay in your hands until it feels soft and easy to shape.
If the clay feels stiff or crumbly, continue kneading it until it softens.
Mix different clay colors together if you want to create your own colors and designs.

Step 2: Create Your Eraser

Shape the softened clay into your own eraser creation.
Use the included mold if you want help creating a shape.
You can place more than one clay color into the same mold.
You can also use a molded shape as part of a larger eraser by adding a base or building more clay around it.
Continue shaping and adding details until you are happy with your design.

Step 3: Prepare the Mold

If you are using the mold, fill the included spray bottle with water.
Lightly spray the inside of the mold with water before adding or removing your clay creation.
This helps make the eraser easier to remove from the mold.

Step 4: Remove the Eraser from the Mold

Take the finished clay eraser out of the mold before baking.
Slowly bend the mold to gently release the eraser.
Be careful not to damage the shape while removing it.
Do not put the mold in the oven.

Step 5: Get Ready to Bake

Place your finished clay erasers on a baking tray.
Make sure the erasers are completely removed from the mold.
Ask an adult to place the tray into the preheated oven.

Step 6: Bake Your Erasers

Bake the erasers at 110 to 130°C (230 to 265°F).
Bake most erasers for 15 minutes or less.
Smaller or thinner erasers may need a little less time.
Larger erasers may bake for up to 20 minutes.
Never bake them for longer than 20 minutes.
Keep an eye on the erasers while they bake because oven temperatures can vary.

Step 7: Cool Your Erasers

Have an adult carefully remove the baking tray from the oven.
Leave the erasers on the tray until they are completely cool.
Do not handle or use the erasers while they are still hot.
Once completely cool, your handmade erasers are ready to use.

Care and Storage

Clean up any clay residue from your work area right away.
Store unused clay in a sealed plastic bag or container with a lid.
Once baked, avoid leaving the finished erasers on plastic, painted, or laminated surfaces for long periods.
