Mix 2 cups baking soda, 1 cup cornstarch, and 1 1/4 cups water in a saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly for about 3 minutes. It should resemble bread dough. Pour onto wax paper to cool, then knead until smooth. Store in plastic bag or other airtight container.
This recipe is excellent for beads and Christmas ornaments as it dries very hard and can be painted. (Taken from Castlemoyle Books)
My daughter especially enjoys this recipe. It is a bit more time consuming to make beads, but for younger kids, you can just shape it or use cookie cutters.
