After I published the previous post on playdough making, I found a recipe for homemade version of Crayola’s almost-mythical Model Magic via The Artful Parent:
- 2 cups baking soda
- 1 cup corn starch
- 1.5 cup cold water
- Food colouring
Combine, heat over medium-low heat, stir until consistency of mashed potatoes. Transfer to mixing bowl, covered with dampened kitchen towel to cool. Sprinkle cornstarch on surface and knead in food colouring.
The recipe doesn’t seem to keep as well as the regular playdough though, so I won’t send this in to school the next time it’s our turn. I’m pretty sure it’ll come in handy in the next–oh, 10 years or so–time we need a cheap air-dry clay.
