1 c. cornstarch
1 1/4 c. cold water

In a pan mix soda and cornstarch together well. Add water until mixture is smooth. Boil for 1 minute until it has the consistency of mashed potatoes. Stir constantly. Spoon out onto a plate. Cover with a wet paper towel to avoid drying. Allow to cool. Knead dough. Shape or roll and cut with cookie cutters. Let dry for 2-3 days. Paint with Tempra or water paints.
