|Play Dough |Combine 1-1/2 cups flour, 1 cup salt, 1 cup water and 1/4 cup McCormick Cream of Tartar plus about 20 drops |

|[pic] |of McCormick Assorted Food Color in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat stirringly constantly for about |

| |5 minutes. Cool on wax paper, then knead slightly until dough is smooth. Store in an airtight container. |

| |Ages 7-12 |

|Cooler Than Classroom Chalk |Mix together 1/2 cup of water with 1 cup plaster of Paris to make a “pudding” consistency. Then, add drops of|

|[pic] |McCormick Assorted Food Color until the desired color is achieved. Stir quickly until the mixture starts to |

| |thicken. Then, stand a toilet paper or paper towel roll on end, fill it with the mixture and let it dry all |

| |night. Finally, peel off the cardboard. |

| |Ages 7-12 |

|Water Colors |Combine 1 tablespoon white vinegar with 2 teaspoons baking soda. Then, slowly add 1 tablespoon cornstarch and|

|[pic] |1/4 cup glycerin. Pour 1 inch of the mixture into 6 to 8 paper cups and let dry overnight. Once they’re dry, |

| |add McCormick Assorted Food Color, making sure to use a lot as the color isn’t as deep when it dries. To use,|

| |dip a paint brush into some water, then into the homemade paint. |

| |Ages 7-12 |

|Goofy Goo |Mix 2 tablespoons of white glue with 2 tablespoons of water in a paper cup. In another cup, mix together 1/4 |

|[pic] |cup of water, 3/4 teaspoon borax laundry booster and about 10 drops of McCormick Assorted Food Color. Then, |

| |spoon about 2 tablespoons of the borax mixture into the glue mixture and stir well. |

| |Ages 7-12 |

|Funny Putty |Start with 1 cup of white glue in a plastic container. Add 1 cup of liquid starch a little at a time stirring|

|[pic] |constantly, along with any color of McCormick Assorted Food Color. Once the mixture looks rubbery like putty |

| |you’re done. Store in an airtight container. |

| |Ages 7-12 |
