Modeling clay is fun for everyone. Children, adults, everyone (or almost) loves kneading this little colored dough.
If your children, or those you are responsible for, are on holiday and you are looking for a trick to occupy them without turning the whole house upside down and making you want to lie down in a corner of the room waiting for death, here is my little recipe staff, which will keep them busy for most of the day.
How to make modeling clay yourself?
To make the modeling clay, which also has the advantage of not being toxic for the little ones, you will need:
- 100 g of baking soda
- 50 g of corn starch
- 75 g of water
- Different food colors
The stages of the homemade modeling clay recipe
Directly in a saucepan over low heat, mix the baking soda, cornstarch and water, until the dough thickens and becomes a bit elastic.
Okay is it done? Well, let it cool down a bit, and separate the batter according to how many vials of food coloring you have. If you have red and blue, make two balls. If you also have yellow, make three and so on. In each ball, add the dye, knead, knead and toss, that’s it, it’s over.
Yes, I told you it wasn’t complicated! Between preparation and the next match, the lads will be very busy for the next few hours, and that’s exactly what we want.
Remember, if you want to keep the dough, to close it in an airtight container so that it does not dry out.
