Krafty Kidz - Part 2

Flour Paste

Mix 1/2 cup plain flour with a little cold water to make a smooth paste. Bring to boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Cook for 5 minutes. Cool. Oil of cloves or peppermint can be added as a preservative. Do not use disinfectant!


Modelling Gloop

2 cups salt
2/3 cups water
1 cup cornflour
1/2 cup water (extra)

Stir salt and 2/3 cup water over low heat for 4 - 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Mix cornflour with 1/2 cup water and add to first mixture. Stir well until smooth. Return mixture to low heat and continue stirring. The "gloop" will thicken quickly. It can be stored in a plastic bag.

Soap Slime

Use a big container, mix Lux flakes and hot water with an egg beater till thick, add colour and let the children mix. (As to modelling gloop).
