A photo blog of the boys and I making baking soda clay figures (recipe here)
-
- Gather up your ingredients: baking soda, corn starch, water, and food coloring
-
- Put the starch, soda, and water in a pot
-
- Stir it together and heat over low (medium low) heat
-
- Keep stirring and cooking until it starts to look like mashed potatoes
-
- It’s done when it looks like dough
-
- Knead the dough using more corn starch (and flour if you like).
-
- Knead in a few drops of color if you like. I separated mine into small balls and colored them separately.
-
- Play with the clay and make shapes!
-
- Get really excited about figures in the oven
-
- Heat the oven to 350 and turn off. Let the figures dry overnight (or longer if yours are big and thick like ours).
