Jacob enjoyed rolling the dough and finding different shapes to cut out as well as making his own creations.
Esme decided that she just wanted to use the knife to cut hers. I was kept busy trying to pick up all the bits off the floor before our bunny got to them. Hmmm, perhaps I should have put the bunny away before we did this activity!
Here are some of the final creations before being cooked. I added holes to the middle of them so that when they are cooked we can paint them and then thread them onto some string.
And the recipe in case you want to make it yourself!Modelling clay
Ingredients
1 cup salt
1 cup flour
water
Method
Mix the salt and flour, add enough water so that it feels like clay - we used about 1/2 cup
Cook in the oven at 200 degrees until firm

I have been seeing a couple of these posts around and will definitely have to give it a go. I know Princess would love to make her own beads. :)
can't wait to see the painted product. Do they go mouldy eventually? I found that happened with ours after awhile
Oh wow, that's so easy. When you first wrote "modelling clay" I assumed you had gone out and bought some. I have to keep this one filed somewhere - Entropy Boy's attention span isn't quite up to this one yet, but in a year or so I reckon we could make a nice mobile or something similar from this.
@Kebeni Yes, I want to see what they look like fired as well. I wonder if you could paint them?
I'm so impressed you get an hour out of any activity! Looks like fun.
Thanks for the recipe!!!
They will look fabulous painted I am sure. I will have to add this to my list of things to try, thanks for sharing :)
