My Favorite Play Dough
Store bought play dough smells bad and is expensive. This homemade one smells
wonderful and is very cheap. Because of the salt, it will keep for a long time, too!
It needs to be it a closed container because it will dry out and turn to cement.
3 cups flour
1 cup salt
1 pkg. unsweetened Kool-Aid
1/3 cup oil
1 cup water
Mix dry ingredients in mixer bowl. Blend water and oil. Slowly add to
dry ingredients in bowl. If it is too dry, add water a teaspoon at a time
until right consistency. If too wet, add a little flour.
Star Salt Dough Magnets
½ cup salt
1 cup flour
½ cup water
Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
Mix the ingredients until a dough is formed.
Add flour if it is too sticky
Knead until soft and smooth
Roll out ¼ inch thick
Cut out star shapes and press center in with small
round cap to prepare a place to glue pictures
Place on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake in pre-heated over 2 hours.
Paint with acrylic paint, glue on photo, sprinkle with glitter and add any other
Decorations you want.
Glue magnet on the back, or alternately make Christmas ornaments.
Jumbo Crayons
These are especially fun for rubbing leaves
You need:
1 Cup cake tin
broken crayons
vegetable oil
toothpick
Preheat oven to 250.
Remove paper from crayons. The easiest way to do this is to slit the
paper with a knife.
Rub muffin cups with the oil.
Put four broken crayons in each cup (1/3 full)
Place in oven, watch carefully, do not let them melt completely, but
just barely start. If they melt completely the color are not as bright.
Use the toothpick to smooth them by stirring.
Let cool completely.
Tap them out of the pan.
Enjoy!!!

Wow, such a lot of great info. Put photos with the tutorals. I'm sending my daughter here, she's the Achievement Day leader in her ward.

Humm. I don't know how that happened. My computer stuttered.
