| Making your own homeschool craft resources not only saves you money, it can be a learning experience as well! Children love the hands on experience that comes with each of these different recipes and enjoy learning about the different ingredients of some of the familiar products they use everyday. |





| Step 1 First mix your dry ingredients in a bowl (You can double or triple this recipe to suit your needs) |
| Step 3 Use a spatula to bring the dough together into a ball. Allow your dough to cool off, put into the fridge if you can't wait like me. |
| Step 4 Add in your Food Coloring. This is where you get to mix it in....I'm not going for red hands today so I'm using my spatula to blend. |
| Drying Time: As thee dough sets it will take on more of the color of the dye. Store it in an airtight container. |
| Step 2 Pour in your oil and your boiling water. TIP: Pour it in the bowl and you won't have a pan to clean up! |
| Step 5 Blend in additional colors to make your dough just the right hue |
| This is a fantastic Play Dough Recipe that you can use to make so very soft and long lasting play dough. Best of all, you get to control the colors with the amount of food coloring you put in. This amount of clay was made with the specific recipe. |












| All Done! Time to play with your soft play dough! We made these fun models of the layers of the Earth! |
