No.

Modeling clay contains oil that keeps it soft and never hardens.

Polymer clay does not have an oil, it hardens when exposed to heat.

polymer clays are often called "oven-bake clay"because you can make stuffs such as pendants, brooch, earings and other accesories using polymer clay by baking them in the oven.

YES, i said oven. PLEASE be safe and never try to put them in the microwave.

Where can you buy modeling clay?

I want modeling clay, the kind that does not dry out. About how much will that cost. please awnser thanks. You are probably wanting polymer clay. It is a material that will thermoset, that is, harden permanently when baked at a low temperature. Despite being called "clay", it generally contains no clay minerals. Polymer clay hardens by curing at temperatures created in a typical home oven generally at 129 to 135 °C (265 to 275 °F) for 15 minutes per 6 mm (1/4") of thickness and does not significantly shrink or change texture during the process. Polymer clay is sold in craft, hobby and art stores, and is used by artists, hobbyists and children. Polymer clay is also popular in animation since it allows static forms to be firm and not be deformed by things like fingerprints and toolmarks while modifying the scene. Leading brands of polymer clay include Fimo, Kato Polyclay, Sculpey & Madello. You can get modeling clay on Amazon.com for $12.78 for a one pound box. Here's the link. amazon.com/Super-Sculpey-Ceramic-Like-Sculpturing-Compound/dp/B0026C1T8C/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1319512398&sr=8-1

Is Crayola air dry clay the same as modeling clay?

Both types of clay are the same. You can use both types of clay to create things. I looked into this and found out that both dry up after a while if you want it to. If you want to paint the clay after it is dry is sort of a mystery to me. I absolutely know that after the crayola air dry clay drys you can definitely paint it. With other types of modeling clay, I am not so sure. I hope this helps.
