Craft Dough Recipe for Kids' Parties
I provided this craft dough recipe so you can have your child create his or her own "craft material."
When the guests arrive at your party, they can play with dough while waiting for other children to arrive. (Watch how proud your child will be telling everyone "I made it all by myself!")
Materials Needed:
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/8 cup salt
3/8 cup hot water
Food coloring
(for vibrant colors, use cake decorating paste)
Have your child combine the flour and salt in a medium-size bowl, then pour in the hot water and stir well. Knead on a lightly floured surface for at least 5 minutes, working in a few drops of food coloring. The dough will keep for up to 1 week when refrigerated in plastic bags or containers.
Working with Homemade Craft Dough - If the dough gets dry, revitalize it with a few drops of water. If it's too sticky, knead in more flour.
- As children work with dough, cover any extra with a damp cloth or plastic wrap to keep it from drying.
- To join two pieces of dough, dab a drop of water on the surfaces to be joined, then press together. If the pieces come apart when dry, reattach with white glue.
