Combine and test, I recommend using Earth or home brand dishwashing liquid here in Australia as they have given me the best results.

Moon Sand

Mix one part oil to 16 parts plain flour.

Salt dough

2 parts plain flour

1 part salt

1 part water

Mix salt and flour together and add the water gradually, roll out and cut into the desired shape and bake at 120c for 2 hours or leave out to dry for 48 hours. Decorate with paint.

I recommend for long term use ie, Christmas decorations to seal with a thick coat of clear gloss or mog posh.

Playdough

• 3 parts flour

  2 parts salt

  1 part oil

  A pinch of creme of tartar (optional)

  Food colouring (optional)

  Enough water to bring it together

  Add all of your dry ingredients into a bowl and mix in your oil, if you want your playdough to be marbled with flecks of colour though out add it here to. If you want your playdough  to be one solid colour, add it to the water and add enough water to bring all of it together into a smooth elastic dough. You will have to kneed the dough for about 10 minuets before use you want your dough to bounce back slightly when pressed.

Crunch sand

Combine equal parts corn flour and baby oil. I like adding oil based plant extracts for a more global sensory experience.

Chalk paint

Chalk

Water

Bi-carb soda

Paint brushes

Bowls

Rolling pin

Place the chalk sticks into bowls and cover in water, allow this to sit for a few minuets before crushing the chalk into a smooth paste. Using the paint brushes mix the bi-carb into the chalk and water mix, This should react with the acid in the chalk to create a even base that will be easier to clean.
