This recipe works wonderfully... Make sure you mix the water and cornstarch in a separate container to ensure no clumps. It looks weird when it is done but once you knead it, it looks like clear play dough. I am using this for a nursing home to get them to use their hands, once it is dry we will paint them.

This recipe is very easy to make. I used it working with special needs children to improve fine motor skills. They made Snowmen for christmas.

It seems really strange when you are making it, but it comes out nicely. It is soft and pliable without being sticky.

Hi Fonda,

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before using again.
