Fun Crafts we are doing today - Homemade Plaster of Paris & Cooking Playdough...

I just thought I would share what we are doing today

Plaster of Paris:
First, you can make a paste that is diluted white glue and warm water. Basically, you use two parts white glue with one part warm water. Put the glue and water into a plastic bowl. Add more water, while stirring the mixture, until you get a soupy mixture. The final product should be watery yet still have a slight white glue consistency.


Second, you can create a flour paste to use as Plaster of Paris. Use two to three cups of white flour with one cup to two cups of warm water. Mix the flour and water in a plastic bowl until there are no lumps, and the consistency is a smooth paste that?s easy to stir.


It?s recommended that you use the above recipe with strips of newspaper.

I use a old tissue box to make things like houses for his little toy figures or a bird house.


And then the playdough we cook from the recipe from Prncss.

Tomorrow we will carve apples and let them shrivel up like old ladies and make clothespin people

When corn comes out we will take the empty corn cobs and let them dry out and then make clothes for them from old raggy dish towels.

Please feel free to give me more ideas
