How to Create Sculpting Clay Dough:
Step 1: In a saucepan, mix cornstarch, baking soda, and water. With an adult's help, heat it on a medium setting. Stir the mixture continuously until it thickens. Let it cool.
Step 2: Place a sheet of waxed paper over your work surface. Knead the clay dough for a few minutes. Roll the clay into a ball, and shape it into small sculptures. Pinch ears and legs to make bears, bugs, and bunnies. Let the figures air dry, then paint them using poster paints.
Step 3: If you want to play with the clay another day, store it in a sealed plastic bag or an airtight container, and keep it in the refrigerator.
