You'll need:

1 cup of cornflour

1 cup pva glue

2 tablespoons lemon juice

2 tablespoons oil (baby oil)

Vaseline

Plastic food bag

Food colouring

Thread

Needle

Instructions:

Pour into a microwave safe bowl the cornflour and pva...

Mix again then place mixture in a microwave for 30 seconds, take out to give a stir and place back in microwave for 30 seconds, repeat about 4 or 5 times or until mixture is no longer runny.

Cover your hands and surface with vaseline and carefully take mixture out of bowl and knead for about 10 minutes. Careful, mixture will be hot at first.

After the clay has been kneaded, place vaseline inside a plastic food bag and spread until sides are covered. Place the clay inside and place in the fridge for an hour or so.

(If there is any left over after activity, keep in fridge in plastic bag taking out any air from the bag as it is air drying clay.)

Take the clay out of the fridge and create little balls, when you have enough balls, mix a little food colouring to each ball and knead the colouring into the clay, roll back into little balls. With a coctail stick pierce the balls all the way through. Leave to dry overnight.
