Baked Clay

 

 

 

A while back ago when I was watching a couple of Julie's kids, we made some hand prints in clay. Although I'm going to try a different recipe, I thought I'd go ahead and share this one anyway. It turned out ok, but there were air bubbles and so they are cracking and feel very fragile. So, here is Denver, Tate and Kaleb's hand prints. Julie, I'll get these to you when I see you next.
BAKED CLAY
4 cups flour
1 cup salt
3/4 cups water

Press out dough and have a child make his handprint on it. Bake at 325 for 1 hour (I think I ended up baking these for 3 hours because they were still soft). Will be light brown in color.

  1. such an awesome idea! I just need to do one with Tag now. :o) So cute... I think I'm going to set aside a day and have the kids paint them. How many does each recipe make??

  2. This recipe probably makes about 6-7 hands, depending on the size and how thick you make them. I'm wondering if I just needed to make them thinner so I didn't have to bake them for so long? I ended up throwing the rest of the dough away the other day, I should have kept that!
