Bake Your Creations:<\/strong> Preheat your oven as per the instructions on the eraser clay packaging. Place the shaped erasers on a parchment paper-lined baking tray. Bake them according to the recommended time and temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>7. Cool and Harden:<\/strong> Carefully remove the baked erasers from the oven and let them cool completely. The cooling process will solidify the erasers, making them ready for use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>8. Test and Admire:<\/strong> After cooling, test the erasers to ensure they work effectively. Revel in the satisfaction of your functional and artistic creations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>9. Optional Decorations:<\/strong> If desired, you can further decorate the erasers using markers or paint. Ensure the materials used for decoration are safe and non-toxic for kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>10. Packaging with Love:<\/strong> For a finishing touch, place the erasers in small clear plastic bags or wrap them in colorful tissue paper.
