Play Dough

The recepie is almost the same. Usually, teachers make play-dough by themselves, try to avoid mess in the class-room; but this is great opportunity  for children to feel themselves self-confident, creative and responsible.

P.S. This dough called in Russia "Salted dough" or "Russian porcelaine" and many artists use it to create wonderful souvenirs.

There is a secret for modeling you have to exchange woter for potato starch glue( 1+1/2 tea spoon potato starch mix well with 1 cup boiled water and boil it for 1 min. Cool down)
