List of Ingredients




1 cup Salt
1/3 cup Water
1/2 cup Cornstarch
1/4 cup Cold Water
Food coloring (if desired)
Cookie cutters - for cutting out ornaments



Recipe



In a medium saucepan, mix salt and 1/3 cup water over medium heat, stirring occasionally (about 3-4 minutes.) Remove from heat, add cornstarch and 1/4 cup cold water. Add a few drops of food coloring if you desire color in the clay. The mixture will resemble mashed potatoes. Stir till thickens, cool, then knead on a board or counter top that has been lightly dusted with cornstarch.

Roll out as dough to desired thickness for ornaments. (aout 1/4 to 1/2 inch thickness) Cut with cookie cutters into desired shapes and let dry. If you wish to paint the ornaments, it is best to do this when they have dried completely, or the paint color will spread.

Store unused play clay in refrigerator in a sealed container with a damp sponge.
