1 c. Argo cornstarch
2 c. baking soda
Food coloring
1 1/4 c. cold water

Mix in saucepan until thoroughly blended, the cornstarch and soda. Mix in cold water, adding a few drops of food coloring for tinted clay. Cook over medium heat about 4 minutes, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens to moist, mashed potato consistency. Cover with damp cloth to cool. Knead as you would dough.

NOTE: Children can cut, roll and mold creative clay into thousands of creative ideas. Pieces will dry overnight; heavier ones take longer. Paint with tempera or water colors. Dip into clear shellac, spray with clear plastic or brush on clear nail polish.
