2 C salt
2/3 C water
1 C cornstarch
1/2 C cold water
Recipe
Mix salt and water. Stir and boil. Add cornstarch and cold water. Stir until mixture thickens, then roll out dough and cut with cookie cutters. (You can use a straw to make a hole at the top to tie string through later). Dry and decorate.
You can also use this as a modeling clay or to make handprints. It tastes awful, so children probably won't eat it...but also non-toxic. If throwing a Christmas party, the kids can take these home as party flavors.
