Vegetable Oil 2TB.

Cream of tartar

1TB.Food coloring few drops or unsweetened "Kool-Aid" 1pkg.
Directions:

Mix ALL of the ingredients in a large saucepan.Cook over medium low heat, until the dough comes away from the edges of the pan and it becomes difficult to move the spoon. Remove from heat. Cool until it can be handled.Place on counter or wax paper knead 3-4 times.Store in an air tight container.

Moon Sand

A few ingredients and you can make your own “Moon Sand.”
Mix 9 Cups of play sand (this is really fine sand I found at Wal-Mart).
Next add 3 cups of cornstarch
Then add 2 1/2 Cups water. Start with 2 1/4 cups and continue adding the water until you have the desired consistency.
Mix well
You can experiment with the ingredients until you get it exactly how you like it. Be careful though, it is very easy to get sandy! When finished playing, cover and store. Next time you play add a few tablespoons of water if it needs to be moistened.

Slime
To make simply mix equal parts of liquid starch and glue together.
We placed 1/4 cup liquid starch into a sandwich bag and added about 3 drops of green food coloring.
Next add in 1/4 cup glue
Mix well. It will start to form a solid blob. There might be a bit of liquid that will not mix in, just remove the blob of slime and discard the bag with the extra liquid.
Take it out of the bag and have fun!
