DLTK's Crafts for Kids
Craft Recipes
It's taken me awhile to start a craft recipes section on the site --
though I did include them in newsletters and give them to a number of other
websites that requested them. After many requests and suggestions from
viewers, I decided it was time to put this section together.
One thing I've noticed with craft recipes is that environment impacts them -- for example, if you live in a humid location, it will take longer for clays to dry than if you live somewhere dry.
- Air Dry Clay -- shape into flowers, animals, etc by hand or cut with cookie cutters.
- Air Dry Clay #2-- shape into flowers, animals, etc by hand or cut with cookie cutters.
