Easy Modelling Clay Recipes

Steps:

• Blend all the ingredients together in a saucepan. Cook the mixture slowly (here's where an adult should help), stirring constantly in til the clay pulls away from the side of the pan and you can no longer move the spoon.
• Remove the mixture from the pan and, after it cools a bit, knead it until it becomes smooth and pliable.
• Store in a zip lock bag or tightly sealed container to keep it fresh. If for some reason it does dry out a little, add a few drops of oil and water then knead it again to make it as good as new.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Mix all ingredients together until you have a soft ball of dough-if too dry add a bit of water.
• Sprinkle some flour on counter and knead it until smooth and stretchy.
• Shape the dough any way you want-use a toothpick or straw for making holes.
• When finished shaping, put on cookie sheet and bake 20 minutes or until hard-timing depends on size of your piece of art.
• Place on wire rack to cool.
• Once cool, you can paint them.
• When paint is dry a clear varnish can be added to give your creation a wonderful shine.
