Today we made a handprint.  It is a receipe from Hands On Homeschooling.  I was intrigued.  I LOVE to make all kinds of home made doughs and playdoughs.  This one was new and very simple.

1/2 Cup Water, 1 cup baking soda, 1/2 cup cornstartch. Mix it together and warm it over the oven until you get a thick bread dough like consistency.  Then roll it out and press your child's hand into it to make a print.

Now, I LOVE to make GOOP for my little ones.  That is a mixture of about 1 part water and 1 part cornstartch.  Goop is a funny thing.  If you let it sit still it turns into a runny liquid.  But if you roll it in your hands it turns more solid.  So I couldn't imagine how this receipe would turn out.  I thought it might not hold the print. At first it didn't.  But after it had a few moments to harden it held the print just fine.  Now the blob is sitting out for a few days to dry.  I'll have to see about posting a picture.

This particular receipe is awesome because what you end up with is very VERY white.

I'll let you know how it dries.
