Air Dry Clay Figurines
Our threes class made these really cute, western inspired clay figurines today. Here are the instructions in case you would like to try making them at home!
Ingredients:
• 1 cup flour• 1/2 cup salt
• 1/2 cup water
Directions:
1. Mix together the dry ingredients. Mix constantly while adding the water slowly. You may not need all of the water. The mixture should not be sticky.
2. Knead 10 minutes until the dough is firm.
3. Roll out the dough to about ¼ inch thickness and cut with cookie cutters (just like you would cookies).
4. Store extra in a plastic bag for up to 3 weeks.
5. You can let air dry for 48 hours (in a dry, breezy location)
6. Paint with acrylic or tempra paints. (acrylic cover better, but don't wash out of clothes)
**Optional: Punch a hole in the figurine before drying to make an ornament, or attach a magnet on the back.
