Cornflour Dough
My last batch of cornflour ornaments failed- But I’m not gonna give up!!
Here’s a recipe I found on http://www.ci2eye.co.uk/Articles/41598/Membership/Resources/Articles/Messy_tray_activities.aspx
It looks good. I think it will work. I’m gonna try it!!
What you need:
2 cups salt
2/3rd cup of water
2 cups cornflour
½ cup water
What you do:
Mix 2 cups of salt with 2/3rd cup of water in a pan.
Stir constantly over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until bubbles appear. (Adult)
Remove from heat and immediately mix 2 cups cornflour and ½ cup cold water to the hot mixture.
STIR QUICKLY to form a stiff dough.
Points to note:
This dough will harden if left exposed to air.
For a harder set, may be baked in oven at 350c for approx 1 hour.

Have you ever tried cinnamon ornaments? They smell fabulous and you can dress them up with tiny bells, ribbon or holly berries and leaves to look quite festive.
