Modeling Clay

2 ¼ cups flour
4 tbsp vegetable oil
1 cup salt
1 tbsp powdered alum
1 ½ cups boiling water
food colouring

Mix flour, alum and salt. Add vegetable oil. Vigorously stir in boiling water with a big spoon until mixture sticks together. Knead dough until smooth and then divide the dough into several piles. Add a few drops of food colouring to each pile until you reach the desired colour. Store in airtight containers such as butter tubs or yoghurt cups.

Play Dough

4 cups flour
1 cup salt
4 cups water
4 tablespoons oil
½ cup cream of tartar

Mix all ingredients in a sauce pan. Cook and stir over low/medium heat until play dough is completely formed and no longer sticky. Allow to cool slightly before storing in an air tight container or zip lock bag.

Super Bubble Mixture!

Dishwashing Liquid - not laundry powder or liquids for dishwashers
Glycerine (just a bit)
H2O (water) distilled is best but not necessary

Combine dishwashing liquid with water - 1 part with 15 parts of water and then add about a teaspoon of Glycerin (make sure you don't over do it with the Glycerin) and blow away! Try not to mix the solution up so that it goes bubbly as you won't have much success with your bubbles. Oh yeah...humid days are best for bubble blowing. Have Fun!!!
