Sculpey isn't exactly clay as we think of it - it's PVC-based. There are a couple of versions - Super Sculpey with high tensile strength, Eraser Clay makes rubber-like erasers (bumpers?) Elasticlay to make flexible molds (Hmm). Haven't used any for stress applications, but toys I've made with my nephew have held up to a 6-year old's energies - so there's some toughness there.

I've attached a link to check out the products.
