SUPER COOL MODELING CLAY RECIPE

Steps:

• Blend all the ingredients together in a saucepan. Cook the mixture slowly (here's where an adult should help), stirring constantly in til the clay pulls away from the side of the pan and you can no longer move the spoon.
• Remove the mixture from the pan and, after it cools a bit, knead it until it becomes smooth and pliable.
• Store in a zip lock bag or tightly sealed container to keep it fresh. If for some reason it does dry out a little, add a few drops of oil and water then knead it again to make it as good as new.

MAGICAL MODELING CLAY

Steps:

• Trim the crust away from the bread.
• Pinch the bread into very small pieces.
• Slowly pour the glue into the bread pieces and mix by hand until a dough has formed.
• Package the dough in a plastic bag or airtight container and refrigerate overnight to "ripen.".
• Lightly coat your hands with vegetable oil if dough is not too sticky to handle.
• Knead the ripened dough until smooth and pliable.
• Divide dough and color with food coloring or acrylic paints if desired.
• The addition of the liquid in the form of coloring will cause the dough to become a little sticky again, but just keep on working the dough - it will regain its manageable state.
• Model dough into desired shapes and insert twisted pipe cleaners into the backs of your figures for hanging or simply form a hole with a toothpick.
• Air dry on wax paper.
• It will take from 1 to 3 days, depending on the thickness of your ornament.
• Can also roll and cut this clay.
• Keep in airtight container in refrigerator.

EDIBLE MODELING CLAY

Steps:

• melt chocolate in a microwave safe bowl 1 minute. Stir. If not fully melted return to microwave for 30 seconds at a time, stirring after each addition. Do not get the chocolate too hot. Can use a double boiler to melt the chocolate. Just have the water only to a simmer.
• When the chocolate is fully melted. add the Karo syrup and stir to blend. The chocolate will come together and appear dry and crumbly.
• Pour the mixture on a piece of wax paper and flatten into a disk. Cover with another piece of wax paper. Then leave it alone for at least 8 hours.
• After setting for 8 hours remove the wax paper and knead the clay candy. It may get too soft to handle if you touch it too much, if so set in the refrigerator for a few minutes. Add powdered sugar or cornstarch if it gets too soft and sticky. Add only a little at a time. Have fun
