How to Harden Modeling Clay in the Microwave

1. Prepare the clay. Roll out the clay to the desired thickness and shape. If the clay is too thick, it may not cook evenly.

2. Place the clay on a microwave-safe plate. Make sure the plate is large enough to hold the clay without it touching the sides of the microwave.

3. Microwave the clay for 30 seconds at a time. After each 30 seconds, check to see if the clay is hard. If it is not hard, continue microwaving it for 30-second intervals until it is.

4. Let the clay cool completely. Once the clay is hard, let it cool completely before handling it. The clay may be hot to the touch, so be careful.

5. Enjoy your hardened modeling clay! You can now use your hardened modeling clay to create various crafts and projects.
