I like this rough grainy clay as its good for sensory development for small toddlers and the shape of your characters stay in place much better when it has something rough to hold on to.

This recipe is so easy your kids can make it! I made this batch twice to make sure it doesn’t clump when making one big batch but maybe it will work for you? Let me know! 

You will need:

• Bowl
• Spoon
• Microwave

Ingredients:

• 1 cup coarse salt 
• 1/2 cup flour
• 1/2 cup warm water
• Food coloring

Step 1:

Mix all the ingredients except the food coloring. 

Step 2:

Separate the batch in two if you want more colors. 

Add the food coloring and put in microwave for 30seconds. If its not firm and still stick to your hands, put it back into the microwave for another 30secs. If it still sticks, add a little flour and repeat.

I ended up with 5 colors because I made the batch twice and then took a little of the blue and a little of the purple and added yellow to get that awesome stone grey colour. 

Enjoy!
