How fun to light a children's menorah, how much satisfaction and pride. We chose the high-quality Do & Dry clay from which you can create your special and artistic menorah. The clay is child-friendly, pleasant to the touch, easy to knead, flatten, design and sculpt, it has a uniform and smooth texture and it completely surpasses the other types of dry clay known to us in the market. Dry clay is a clay that dries in the air and does not require burning in a special oven. At the end of the work and after drying, you get a hard work, which can be painted with gouache, acrylic, spray paint and decorated with various additions with glue.

Some tips for work - Dry clay is clay that dries in the air, therefore during work it is advisable to spray it with a little water and also moisten it with water for smoothing or for gluing and connecting parts. To create repeating elements for the menorah pedestals, roll out the clay and cut out shapes using cookie cutters or other tools you have at home, such as a round lid, a jar, etc. For sculpting thin and long forms or sculpting to a height, it is advisable to use a supporting structure, it can be a flexible metal wire on which the pieces of clay are wrapped or simply a wooden skewer or toothpick. If you have clay left at the end of the work or you want to continue working on the menorahs, they should be kept wrapped in an airtight bag or box, it is also recommended to wrap them in a wet piece of cloth. If the product has lost moisture and is difficult to process, you can use water to restore its elasticity.
