Day 13: Make Cornstarch Clay & Ornaments

Today was a day. Dinner got delayed. Then, for the first time ever, TheBoy refused what was made completely. So PB&J instead (another delay). We finally made it to our activity. 

When I pinned this dough for ornaments on Pinterest, the recipe was in the description: 

1/2 cup cornstarch 

1 cup baking soda

3/4 cup water

Bake at 175 for an hour

So I went with that... 

And it was liquid. 

Another delay. 

Not that he minded. 

Fortunately, the original source (The Woodside Kitchen) was also mentioned in the description. I discovered you had to heat it over low-medium heat on the stove to thicken it. (Duh. This really should have occurred to me.)

Once we figured it out, we were all good.
