Model Clay
Supplies:
1 cup Cornstarch
1 1/2 cup Water
16 oz Baking Soda
Directions:
Combine
cornstarch and baking soda in a large saucepan. Stir in water and cook
over low heat until the mixture begins to thicken and form a ball. Remove
from heat. Dust the countertop lightly with cornstarch and turn the
clay out of the saucepan. When cool enough to handle knead the clay until
smooth. Store the clay in a air-tight plastic bowl or large baggie. Clay
is ready for use when completely cool. Can be stored refrigerated for up
to 2 weeks. Make figures by modeling to shapes or rolling about 1/4 to 1/2
inch thick and use cookie cutters. Allow to air dry over several days or
bake at 300°F for 25-35 minutes. Decorate the dried figures with paints
and markers. |
