Rigid Wrap and CelluClay Quik-Sculpting Kit from ACTÍVA Products
I was excited to get an opportunity to try a totally new type of sculpture crafting product, Rigid Wrap and CelluClay Quik-Sculpting Kit from ACTÍVA Products, and the kids and I ended up having fun.
What Comes In The Box
Prepping The Art Area
When the product box arrived, my kids unpacked it from the shipping box and we discovered that this would be a messy project. In our house, good art is always messy so I knew how to prepare. I covered our dining room table with plastic wrap taped to the underside of the table. This meant that we could just relax and I wouldn’t worry about anything while we played with the sculpting material.

Use The Rigid Wrap To Mold and Cast
…including my glasses (which I then forgot about until I went on a hunt for my glasses around dinnertime and eventually found them in the Rigid Wrap, completely undamaged).
Use The CelluClay To Sculpt
You Can Paint Rigid Wrap When It Is Wet
We tried painting the Rigid Wrap while it was still wet and got some interesting and very bright colors and turned this into a colored carpet.
Sculpting Shapes & Painting Them
We also molded shapes to make a chess set out of CelluClay (and yes, the knights are actually dogs because horses are hard to make). This we let dry for a day or so. Then we painted it with Gesso to seal it.
Overall, this was fun and definitely different. Clean up is pretty easy (just don’t put the CelluClay down the drain – don’t ask!). The Rigid Wrap is interesting and younger children might really enjoy playing with the product. The CelluClay can be messy, but with some care we were able to make some fun pieces that will last and provide us all enjoyment!
