Homemade Items |

Flour Clay4 cups flour Combine the flour and salt. Add water slowly, stopping when the dough is a little dry. Knead 10 minutes. Divide into batches and add food coloring (or leave white and let the kids color the dried objects with markers). Store in airtight containers like margarine tubs.
Bubbles/Super Bubbles10 parts warm water Mix the water and Dawn (adding too much soap will make shorter lived bubbles, and on hot days add a little more water) Karo syrup/glycerine is to make long lasting, beautiful colored bubbles.
Play Dough1 cup flour Cook over medium heat until dough forms a ball and follows the spoon. Remove to wax paper and divide into 4 sections. Drop food coloring onto each ball. Knead until coloring is worked in thoroughly. Wrap in plastic or put into sealed containers. The cream of tartar will help the dough hold shape please do not omit. Coffee, tea or cocoa will make beautiful browns. One of my daughters elementry school teachers made this for the students to create maps of different countries. They placed their mountains, land, water, etc. on poster board or a heavy cardboard box side and let it dry. Made for a very impressive project that the kids were proud of and enjoyed making.
