1 1/4 c. flour
1/2 c. salt
1/2 c. water
Make an inedible modeling dough by combining flour and salt. Slowly mix in water. When the dough is soft like modeling clay, it is ready to use. You may prepare the dough ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator in an airtight bag. Older children can do the measuring and mixing by themselves, but younger children should be given the dough ready made or they can help you pour and mix. The clay can be molded to make a variety of objects. Add a drop of water to make the pieces stick together or if the clay gets too dry while working. It can be air dried until hard and then painted with tempera paint. The product can then be glazed with clear shellac. For permanence, the dough can be put on a cookie sheet in the oven and baked at 350 degrees until firm.
