No-Cook Dough
Staples taking shape from FamilyFun
For the independent modeler,
this simple dough recipe is the natural choice. There's no cooking on a
hot stove, and the more your child squishes, tugs and pounds it, the
more this pliable stuff cooperates. Suitable for either dying or painting,
this
dough has a distinctly homemade look when dry.
MATERIALS
1 cup flour3/8 cup salt
3/8 cup hot tap water
Food coloring (optional)
Have your child combine the flour and the salt in a medium bowl, then pour in the hot water and stir well. Knead on a floured board for at least 5 minutes, working in food coloring if desired.
WHAT TO MAKE:
No-Cook Dough's sturdiness makes it a winner for molding chunky beads or small figures (large ones have a tendency to crack during drying). The recipe also rolls out nicely with a rolling pin; your child can cut the flattened dough with a butter knife or cookie cutters, creating shapes that make great holiday ornaments, pendants, pins and refrigerator magnets.DRYING TIME:
Depending on the thickness of the dough, air-drying will take anywhere from 1 to 5 days. Small or thin shapes can be dried more quickly by baking them on a cookie sheet at 200 degrees for about 2 hours.STORAGE:
No-Cook Dough will keep for up to a week when refrigerated in plastic bags or sealed containers.
