FOSSIL CRAFTS
Fossil dough recipe: 1 cup flour, 1 cup coffee grounds, 1/2 cup salt, few tbs of old coffee. Mix altogether to make a stiff dough. The children pressed mini dinosaurs and shells into the dough, when they have dried they just look like the real thing!
SNOW DOUGH RECIPE
A little out of season i know, but when i came across this idea i just had to give it a go!!
You will need:
1 1/2 cup & 1/2 cup water (melted snow if making in the winter!)
2 cups of salt
1 cup of cornflour
mix 1 1/2 cup water with salt and bring to the boil, simmer for 5 mins stiring constantly,
remove from heat, mix remaining 1/2 cup of water with cornflour stir then add to salt water.
stir well and leave to cool.
if dough becomes sticky just add plain flour!
The good thing about this dough is that it can be painted before it hardens giving a nice irridesent look, we used watercolours or just keep it white. This is easy to make at home and a great Christmas craft as glitter can also be added!
