Krafty Kidz - Part 6

Salt and Flour Finger Paint

2 cups flour
2 teaspoon salt
3 cups cold water
2 cups hot water
Food colouring

Add the salt to the flour in a saucepan. Pour in cold water gradually and beat the mixture with an egg beater until smooth. Add the hot water and boil the mixture until it becomes glossy. Beat it until it is smooth. Mix in food colouring.

Easy Fundough (single portion)

4 Tablespoons flour
2 Tablespoon salt
3 Tablespoon water

Mix dry ingredients together. Stir in the water. Add more water or flour until dough forms a nonsticky ball.

Corn Starch and Salt Fundough

4 cups salt
1 cup cornstarch
Water

Combine salt and cornstarch in an electric skillet. Add enough water to form a paste. Cook on a medium heat setting, stirring constantly.
The dough will not be sticky like flour dough and will not mold because of the high salt content.

Peanut Butter and Honey Edible Fundough

1 cup peanut butter
1 cup honey
2 cups powdered milk

Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Add more powdered milk if necessary to make a workable dough. Form the dough into balls and other shapes.

Invisible Writing

1 tablet of laxative
1 Tablespoon rubbing alcohol
Cotton balls
Household ammonia

Mash the laxative tablet into the Tablespoon of alcohol. Be sure the tablet is entirely dissolved. Write a message on the paper with paintbrush dipped into the solution. As the solution dries, the writing will disappear. To develop the message: dampen the cotton ball with liquid ammonia and dab it on the page. The writing will reappear.
