1 cup (250 mL) Challenge® CANADA Corn Starch
or BENSON'S® Corn Starch
2 cups (500 mL) baking soda
1-1/4 cups (300 mL) cold water
1 tablespoon (15 mL) MAZOLA® corn oil
Mix corn starch and baking soda in a pot. Add water and oil and cook
over a medium heat. Stir until it looks like moist mashed potatoes. Pour
onto a plate; cover with a damp cloth. Let it cool. Dust work surface
with corn starch, then knead the Play Clay until it is smooth.
Glue small pieces together and heads to bodies rather than press
Play Clay shapes together.
Oven Drying: Preheat oven to 350ºF (180ºC), then turn oven off. Place undecorated items on a wire rack on a cookie sheet. Place in oven
until oven is cold. Repeat as necessary. Air-dry Play Clay overnight
on wire racks, turning occasionally to speed up drying and make
objects dry evenly.
Store unshaped Play Clay in an airtight container or heavy plastic bag in a cool place up to 2 weeks.
Knead stored clay until smooth before using.
Decorate with water colour or acrylic paints,
felt tip markers, coloured or glitter glue
and crayons.
Coat decorated items
with clear acrylic to seal.
