How To Make Erasers For Kids

By Lucille Lamb


For many years already, children have had a hobby of collecting erasers because it is something that they can admire and even show to their friends and family. For this reason, many eraser makers had actually started making erasers with different colors and designs in order to cater to this large and growing market of children. Of course until today, many stores still sell colorful and pretty erasers for kids because the demand will never run out.

Now the first thing to do would be to go and look for a place that sells a special type of clay that is specifically used to make this kind of thing. The whole objective of this process is to bake the clay in order to produce an end result. The first step would be to get a small piece of the clay and roll it around until it becomes softer.

The objective here would be to make the clay very soft so that one will be able to create shapes out of it. In this stage, the maker will now have to come up of a design or a shape that he likes like a fruit or an animal. It is even possible for one to get two or more pieces of clay and combine them together to create another kind of very beautiful shape.

After that, one should now concentrate on the certain details that he would have to put in order to make the eraser look nice. Use a small knife, a needle, or a toothpick in order to put some things like eyes, mouth, nose, and other things that would make the eraser look realistic. Do not carve the details too deep because it will not be nice to look at.

Now if one would like to create an eraser with a lot of colors, then the thing that he must do is to buy a bunch of different colored clays. Of course the store will be selling all kinds of different colors that can be used in making the best looking eraser. Colors that can be found in stores include blue, red, green, yellow, orange, and even violet.

Although this is optional, it would be better to add some water to the mold so that it will become a little bit smooth. If the mold is not very moist, then it will actually become brittle after baking. So one may opt to add some water and maybe even some vinegar on it so that it will not break easily after one bakes the mold.

The last step would be to bake the mold in order to get the eraser. Of course there are instructions on the eraser clay box like what the temperature is and how long it should bake. Just follow the instructions and there should be no problem.

So if one would want to do this, here is a guide to making erasers for kids. Since there is already an existing market for this thing, one can really profit. Kids will never get sick of collecting erasers.
