How to Make Homemade Clay

Written By Tyra Crudup

Last week, my girls and I decided to make our favorite —homemade clay. Whether it’s a rainy day or you're looking for a fun activity to do with your littles, this recipe is not only quick and easy but provides a safe alternative.

WHAT you’ll need

  • 1 cup of flour

  • 1/2 cup of salt

  • 1/2 tbsp of vegetable oil

  • 1/2 of hot water

Step 1. Mix all ingredients together ( their is no right order )

Step 2. Once it’s mixed you’ll want to stir until you get a thick consistency

Step 3. Let it sit and cool for 15 minutes

Step 4. Enjoy !

(Once you have your desired shapes, bake them in the oven at 250 for 20 minutes and it’s ready for paint ! )

My kids have so much fun making clay and the best part is whatever is unused can last in the fridge for up to 7 days if stored properly. *pro tip - lightly salt your table so that the clay doesn’t stick
