Space Mud 1. In one bowl mix 1 cup of hot water, and 2 ½ T. Borax 2. In another bowl mix 2 cups glue, ½ cup room temperature water, and food coloring (optional) 3. Mix together both bowls until all liquid is gone. Store in a zip lock bag.
1 cup cornstarch 2 cups baking soda 1 1/4 cups cold water Mix dry ingredients. Add water all at once and stir until smooth. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the consistency of cookie dough. Roll out and cut with cookie cutters. Bake at 300 degrees for 10 minutes. Paint with tube or bright water color. If dough starts to dry out, wet hands and work the dough.
2 cups cinnamon 1 ½ cups applesauce Mix together, roll to about 1/4 inch cut with cookie cutters, and let dry (this takes 3-5 days) hang.
2 cups baking soda 1 cup corn starch 1 ½ cups cold water Stir until smooth. Cook over medium heat until boiling. Boil for one minute. Pour onto a plate. Put a cool rag over the plate. When cool to the touch, knead a bit. Roll out and cut. Put a hole in the top for hanging. Dry for 24 to 48 hours. Can paint after they are dry.
2 cups flour 1 cup salt 1 cup water Mix together. Roll out and cut. Put a hole in the top for hanging. Bake in an oven at 250 degrees until hard.
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour 3/4 cup salt 1/4 cup cinnamon 1 T. Ground allspice 1T. Ground cloves 3/4 t. Powdered alum 1 1/4 cups water Mix together. Shape into a ball. Roll on floured surface. Cut with cookie cutters. Put a hole in the top for hanging. Dry for at least 24 hours.
1 cup cinnamon 3/4 cup applesauce 1/4 c. white glue Mix together. Flatten on a floured surface. Cut with cookie cutters. Put a hole in the top for hanging. Let dry about 48 hours.
1/4 cup liquid detergent (preferably Dawn) ½ cup water 1 teaspoon sugar or 3 tablespoons glycerine Mix all ingredients in a flat container such as a dish pan or baking pan. Dip purchased bubble wands or homemade bubble blowers into the mixture, then wave the wands slowly in the air. You can turn household items into bubble blowers easily. For example, poke the bottom out of a paper cup or try a slotted spoon, a plastic berry basket, or a drinking straw.
4 ounces white school glue 1 cup water A few drops of food coloring 1 teaspoon Borax In a bowl stir together glue and ½ cup of the water. Add food coloring. In another bowl stir together the remaining ½ cup water and Borax. Stir the Borax mixture into glue mixture. You should have a thick mass in a liquid. When the Glob has formed into a solid mass, pour off the remaining liquid and discard it. Glob thickens when you knead, stretch, and play with it.
In a large saucepan combine 1 cup all-purpose flour and 1 cup cold water. Stir until smooth. Add 3 cups additional cold water. Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture thickens and bubbles. Reduce heat. Cook and stir 1 minute more. Remove pan from heat. Pour mixture into 3 heatproof bowls. Use food coloring to tint the paint the desired colors. Cover each bowl with plastic wrap. Let paint stand at room temperature.
1 cup cornstarch 1 16-ounce box baking soda 1 ½ cups water In a large saucepan combine cornstarch and baking soda. Stir in water. Cook and stir over low heat until mixture thickens and forms a ball. Remove from heat. Dust work surface lightly with cornstarch. Turn clay out onto surface. When it’s cool enough to handle, knead clay until smooth. Place clay in a bowl. Cover bowl with plastic wrap; cool completely. (If desired, tightly wrap clay and refrigerate up to two weeks. When ready to use, knead to soften.) Use clay to make various shapes. For holiday ornaments, roll dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut out shapes with cookie cutters. Allow the clay to air-dry. Or, for bigger pieces, place shapes on a baking sheet and bake in a 300 degree oven for 30 minutes. Turn off the oven; leave baking sheet in oven 1 hour more. If the clay is still not dry, place it on a wire cooling rack and let it air-dry. (Baked clay will acquire a slight brownness during baking.) When dry, use paints to decorate the shapes.
3 cups all-purpose flour 1 cup salt 2 tablespoons cornstarch 1 1/4 cups water 2 teaspoons cooking oil Food Coloring I In a large mixing bowl combine flour, salt, and cornstarch. In a small mixing bowl combine water and cooking oil. Gradually stir water mixture into dry ingredients until combined. Knead dough until smooth. Divide dough into portions and knead in food coloring. (Add small amounts of water if dough is dry; add small amounts of flour if dough is sticky.) Keep any unused dough wrapped in plastic wrap to prevent drying. Use clay dough to make various shapes. To dry shapes, let them stand until firm, turning occasionally; it will take several days.
