Recipes for making Crafts/Props glue/paper mache

http://www.familiesonlinemagazine.com/craftrecipes.html#.UbmECZXmKLI

"Making homemade craft recipes will save your family money, but more importantly, you will be building memories with your children that will last a lifetime. Adult supervision is recommended."


Here are my two favourites from the list:

CREPE PAPER CLAY
1 cup flour
1 cup salt
Crepe paper
Mix together flour and salt in a small bowl. Tear crepe paper into small pieces and place into a larger bowl. Add enough water to crepe paper to cover. Soak one hour or until most of water is absorbed. Pour off excess water. Do not squeeze. Begin adding flour and salt until it becomes a clay-like substance. Form clay into interesting shapes. Let dry and apply either a varnish or a glue and water mixture to seal.

SLIME
1 cup Elmer’s glue
1 cup liquid starch
Food coloring
Mix glue and starch together until it forms a ball. If the mixture is sticky add more starch. Add a few drops of food coloring. Kids love this!
