Who this list is for
This clay board game token craft is for 10-year-olds personalizing a board game with durable handmade pieces. It focuses on sculpting and decorating tokens, not building a game board.
How to use this list
Cover the work area with wax paper and work on the silicone clay mat. Use the ruler and pencil to plan token sizes so pieces are easy to tell apart. Shape air-dry clay by hand, use cookie cutter shapes for simple silhouettes, and refine edges with the wooden clay tools. Let the tokens dry fully before painting them with acrylic paint, fine paintbrushes, and the paint palette. Finish dry paint with the small foam brush and clear water-based craft sealer.
Common mistakes
Do not make the tokens too thin, since thin air-dry clay can warp or snap. Keep pieces similar in thickness so they dry more evenly. Do not paint or seal damp clay. Avoid putting wet tokens directly on a game board; leave them on wax paper until dry.
What is on this list
Gather one pack of air-dry clay, a silicone clay mat, wooden clay tools, and six cookie cutter shapes. The list also calls for acrylic paint, three fine paintbrushes, a paint palette, clear water-based craft sealer, a small foam brush, four wax paper sheets, a pencil, and a ruler. Cross off any tools you own.
When you are done
Leave the tokens on wax paper until the clay, paint, and sealer are dry. Check that each piece stands or lies flat before adding it to the board game.
