You can make a really white air drying dough using 200g of Baking Powder, 100g of Corn Flour and 150mls of water. We have included the dry ingredients in Pack Three so you just need to add water.

Put all the ingredients in a pan and gently heat through stirring continuously. The dough will start to come together. It can then be turned out onto a board and kneaded when cool enough.

One of the things we love to do is make impressions in clay of things we find in the woods. When you are on a walk you could look out for things that have interesting shapes and textures. What signs of Spring can you find?

To make an impression of the things that you have found just roll out the clay, put the item on the surface and gentle roll it in. Then you can take it out and see what kind of impression has been left behind. We had a lot of fun experimenting with different things. When you make an impression you like you can cut around it using a cookie cutter.

The shapes can then be left in a warm place to dry, turning occasionally. We found the best thickness to roll the dough was around 5 mm. If the dough was very thick then cracks appeared as it dried.

You can use the blue cloth included in the pack to roll the clay out on. This prevents it from sticking. There is also a straw which you can use to make a hanging hole in the shapes. If you don’t have a rolling pin then a bottle will work fine.
