Day 6: Make and Play (Cotton Clay)

Used The Ultimate Book of Kids' Concoctions again for cotton clay. Fun fun!

You need: 3 cups of cotton balls, 2 cups of water, 2/3 cup of flour.

Tear up the cotton balls:



Mix the cotton with water in a large pot over low heat. Slowly add flour, and stir. I kept the heat really low and was able to mix it with my hands. When mixed, allow it to cool on a towel. 



Play away! It's a great sensory activity, you have to wring out lots of water and it gets pretty mushy. You can add food coloring when you're mixing it over the heat, but we left it white and made snowmen.
