Make your own mold-able Peanut Butter Putty, Salt Dough, Play Dough, & "Moon Sand"

Edible Peanut Butter Putty

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

1/2 cup corn syrup

2/3 cup powdered sugar

1 cup or more dry milk

Mix peanut butter and corn syrup, add sugar and mix well. Add dry milk a little at a time until stuff enough to handle.

Roll dough into balls, logs, or other shapes.

You can also send this in plastic containers and let your children make their own shapes while eating.

Salt Dough

1 Large bowl
1 cup Salt
1 1/4 cups Warm water
1 Mixing spoon or mixer
3 cups Flour
Painting supplies, if desired

Pour 1 cup salt into large bowl.

Add warm water, little by little, and mix well until desired consistency is reached.

Add 3 cups flour, mix well some more.

Mold anything you want!

Store in air-tight bags, preferably in the refrigerator. Once molded, salt dough can be left in a barely warm oven and hardened, and even painted if you wish!

Play Dough

1 1/2 cups corn starch
1/2 cup flour
2 cups water
2 tsp. cream of tartar
1 cup salt
1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
Food coloring (unsweetened Kool-aid powder may also be used)

Mix all ingredients together in sauce pan.

Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture gathers on the stirring spoon and forms dough. This will take about 6 minutes.

Dump onto waxed paper until cool enough to handle. Knead until pliable. Store in air-tight container.

Food coloring may be added to make different colors. Makes about 2 pounds.

"Moon" sand, dirt cheap.

6 cups of play sand (I got a 50lb bag from Lowes, it was $4.99 plus tax)
3 cups of cornstarch (most dollar stores carry it for $1 per box...you'll need around 24 boxes for the whole 50lbs!)
1 1/2 cups of cold water (actual moon sand may use some vegetable or mineral oil in place of some water)
Food coloring (Kool-aid powder may also be used)

Mix the water and cornstarch together thoroughly, this will take a few minutes to get it nice and smooth.

Gradually mix in the sand, one cup at a time. You'll need to really work it in with your fingers.

Play with it!

When you're all done, pop it in an airtight container.

When you next play with it, you'll need to revive it with 2-3 tablespoons of water. Just sprinkle it over and work it in.

Play sand also comes in different colors, so buy different colored bags to mix things up a little. Have fun!
