does anyone know how to make kid's clay?

Question

the recipe calls for flour, water, salt and cream of tarter but I can't find my copy and don't know the proportions.

Answer 1

Kid's Clay
Ingredients: 1 cup flour, 1 cup water, 1/2 cup salt, 3 tsp. of vegetable oil, 2 tsp of tartar. Optional ingredients will add color and/or aroma to your clay: food coloring; Kool-Aid; ground coffee, cinnamon or ginger; vanilla or other flavor extracts. You can also add a smidgen of essential oil for aroma, but please be careful with this, as some children and adults may have skin sensitivities to essential oils. Research any essential oils before using to make certain they are safe.


How to make it.


In a small saucepan, heat water to boiling, and then turn heat to low. Mix other ingredients in a separate bowl, and then add them to the water. Stir until the mixture turns into a solid blob that can be formed into a ball. Carefully pour onto a plate or waxed paper and allow cooling. Then knead the ball until it becomes smooth clay. After it cools, you can divide it into three or four parts, and allow your little helpers to assist in the kneading process.

Have Fun!

Oven Flour Clay Recipe
Instructions for making clay using flour, salt, and water.

Materials Needed:
2 Cups Flour
1 Cup Salt
2 Tbsp Vegetable Oil
3/4 - 1 Cup Water

Instructions:
Mix together flour and salt. Add the oil and then slowly add the water and stir until you get a nice clay consistency. Once completely mixed, make into the desired shapes. Bake in a 250 degree oven for approximately 1 hour. This will vary depending on how thick you creations are. One hint, do not make shapes too thick or they will crack with baking.

Ian shared a similar recipe using 4 Cups of Flour, 1 cup of Salt, and 1 1/2 Cups of Water. Your creations can be baked at 300 degrees for about an hour. For a golden apperance, paint your creations with egg yolk before you put it in the oven.
