Father's Day Magnets
Recipe and Instructions for the No-Cook Play Clay Father's Day Magnet Project
1 cup of all purpose flour
1/2 cup of salt
1/2 cup of warm tap water
Note: Save some of the dough and add red food coloring for the lips and nose, if you are making the dad face magnet as shown above .
Mix flour and salt and pour in warm tap water. Stir well.
Knead the dough
You might need to double or even triple this recipe if you work with a larger group of children.
- give each child in the craft center a small amount of dough
- roll out on aluminum foil, this can be placed on a cookie sheet and then baked
- the children can roll out their own dough
- cut out a round circle using the top of a glass if you are making the face
- If you are making the dad face magnet the children can add the lips and the nose by rolling out the red dough.
- If you are making the dad face magnet the hair and eyebrows were rolled and then painted.
- Wiggly eyes were used for the dad face magnet
- this can air dry for 4 - 5 days or for faster results place the finished product in the oven at 200 F for about an hour (ensure you turn half way through to allow drying on both sides).
- place a magnet on the back (this is optional, this will require a stronger magnet).
