Jewelry Clay

Not exactly bling, but the kids love to do their own thing.

• 3/4 cup  flour

• 1/2 cup  salt
• 1/2 cup  cornstarch
• Warm water

Method

Supervise the children, but let them follow these steps on their own:

 Mix dry ingredients together.

Gradually add warm water until the mixture can be kneaded into shapes. This step wants grown-up advice so the mix doesn't become too watery.

Form beads by breaking the dough into little balls, rolling it to the desired shape, then piercing the balls with toothpicks.  Allowing the balls to dry.  

When dry, paint and string the beads.
