Rainy Day Activity

So since it's been yucky the last couple of days, we (I) decided to try out the "Kids Play Clay" recipe on the can of cornstarch. It ended up being a lot of fun. The girls had enjoyed helping me make it and then we all loved playing with it too.
Here's the recipe if anyone's interested:
1 cup salt
1/3 cup water
1/2 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup cold water
food coloring

In a medium sauce pan, mix salt and 1/3 cup water over medium heat stirring occ. for about 3-4 min. Remove from heat and add corn starch and 1/4 cup cold water. Add a few drops of food coloring, if desired. Stir 'til it thickens, cool, then knead on counter top lightly dusted with cornstarch.
Store in sealed container in fridge with a damp sponge.
