Cornstarch Clay

Yesterday we made our own cornstarch clay (idea from
http://scrumdillydo.blogspot.com/2009/06/clay-prints-in-two-parts.html)
I really like the consistancy of the dough (though it's salty
so I had the kids wash their hands with sorbolene after
they were done). LD made jets and DD made necklace
ornaments. We poked holes in the cutouts with the end of
a paintbrush. Of course, ED enjoyed working with us and
poked holes in her clay!

1 cup cornstarch
1 cup baking soda
1/2 cup table salt
1 cup water

Cook on medium in a saucepan until it thickens. This happens
quickly.

You can also make beads out of this clay.
