Play Clay Tips
Make sure children’s hands are completely clean before beginning a clay or dough project.
If clay gets too dry, renew it with a few drops of water.
If clay is too sticky, knead in more flour, cornstarch or baking soda.
Cover extra clay with a damp cloth while working to prevent drying.
To color clay: either knead in food coloring or cake-decorating coloring paste.
Most clays can be colored with acrylic paints when dry.
