FUN STUFF

 

   
 

Play Clay

 

 

 
This popular recipe produces a soft and cooperative clay that can be used over and over again and will remain pliant for weeks.
 
CRAFT MATERIALS:  
· 1 cup flour

· 1 cup water
· 1/2 cup salt
· 1 tsp. vegetable oil
· 1/2 tsp. cream of tartar
· Food coloring, optional
     

Time needed: Under 1 Hour
 

1. Mix all ingredients together in a saucepan and cook over medium heat until the mixture holds together (keep mixing or it will stick to the bottom of the pan).
 
2. When the clay is cool enough to touch, your child can knead it on a floured board.


Tips:
This recipe's long drying time makes it most satisfying as a play dough (it's easy to roll into ropes and balls), but sculptures will dry eventually. If stored in an airtight container, this dough will last, refrigerated or un-refrigerated, for 2 to 4 weeks.
