GOO-BLECK (is it a solid or a liquid?)
1 1/2 C. Corn Starch
1 C. Water
Food Color (optional)
Mix the ingredients and allow children to play with the mixture. When "pushed" together, the mixture will appear dry and solid; as children let go of the mixture, it flows like a smooth liquid. It can get rather messy, but when it dries, it's very easy to sweep up.
CINNAMON PLAYDOUGH (scented)
2 cups flour
1 cup salt
5 twp cinnamon
3/4 to 1 cup of water
Bowl and plastic wrap
How to make it:
Mil flour, salt and cinnamon in a bowl. Make a well in the center.
Pour in water. Mix with hands until dough forms a ball.
Knead on lightly floured surface for 5 minutes until smooth
and satiny. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate 20 minutes.
PLAYDOUGH FOSSILS (looks and feels like stone)
1 cup of used coffee grounds
1/2 cup of cold coffee
1 cup of flour
1/2 cup of salt
Wax paper
Mixing bowl
Some small objects to make impressions
How to make it:
Stir the together the coffee grounds, cold coffee, flour, and salt until well mixed.
Knead the dough together and then flatten it out onto the waxed paper. Use the can to cut out circles of the dough or use the dull knife to cut slabs large enough to fit your "fossil" objects. Press your objects firmly into the dough. When you take the object out, you have your "fossil". If you want to hang the fossil, poke holes into the edge to hold the string. Let the fossil dry overnight (and up to two days) and then hang it if you wish.
Tips: To reduce the drying time, bake the fosils for a short period of time to get the "dough" to harden.
