The cool weather is here and it may rain over the next couple of days, so I thought it would be a great chance for me to make some all natural play clay. I had just gotten my Family Fun Magazine in the other day and there was a recipe in it that I could not wait to try.
Just look how happy the kids and mom are – it had to be good.
I gathered all the ingredients and got them ready to go: 1 cup flour, 3/8 cup salt, 1 tbsp. vegetable oil.
There we go…that’s easy enough. Now to mix and form the dough!
Hmm. All mixed…no dough. Um, OK…guess I’ll add another tablespoon of vegetable oil…
Alrighty, let’s mix it again…
…and some more…
Getting there slowly…
Still adding more vegetable oil…6 extra tablespoons later, I finally had a formable dough.
Now to add cocoa powder and hot water to color it. In it went to mix…it was a messy job, but I thought I was getting somewhere. The dough started to form nicely and with color. But wait…it was STILL crumbly.
