Funday Sunday

We're going to take a break from recipe sharing this Funday Sunday. This week I'm going to share a fun art project I ran across. Change it up a little. It's called Cornstarch Clay Handprints. This is great to do when kids are young and have those adorable little hands and feet. I made some of this dough yesterday for Greta's hand and foot prints and took some pictures of the process. It's super easy and when it's done you have a great keepsake to remember those precious little hands that grow way too fast.



Cornstarch Clay Handprints


1 cup baking soda
1/2 cup cornstarch
2/3 cup warm water
Couple of drops of food coloring, optional

Mix baking soda and cornstarch in a saucepan; add water and food coloring and stir until
smooth.
Over medium heat, continue to stir until the mixture is like mashed potatoes.



Pour onto board to cool.



When cool knead.

Make a ball of clay, press into a flat circle and press hand into clay.









Enjoy!
