Cotton clay recipe:
3 cups cotton balls
2 cups water
2/3 cup flour
food coloring (optional)
- Tear cotton balls into small pieces and put in a saucepan
- Add water
- Stir in flour
- Cook over low heat, stirring constantly for approximately five minutes or until mixture begins to stiffen
- Remove from heat and allow to cool on a towel
- I then split it in half and put it into two containers with a few drops of food coloring (red for C and purple for R)
- Begin sculpting, squishing, and just having fun
If you create a structure that you would like to keep, just leave it out to dry for 24 hours.
*Edited to add: The clay is very wet and the best way I can describe the texture is goopy. I'm not sure how long it will last, but we stored it in a ziploc bag and it is still moldable two days later. I hope this answers your questions!

that is awesome! how is the texture?? is this something your going to make again??
I've never heard of cotton clay before. I was also going to ask how the texture was? We'll have to try it out!
Same thoughts as above comment! Also, will it be reusable?
This is pretty interesting. I am also curious as to how it feels. C looks wildly excited about it :)

I've never heard of this before! I am intrigued.
This is different! Cool!
My little guy loves anything playdoh, squishy, moldable...this is definitely going in my "to do list"
What??!! I have never, ever heard of this idea, Christie! I'll totally try it as a NFUF!
Thank you, thank you, thank you--and I'll link back to you if that's okay when I do post it.
:*)
I've never heard of this, looks like fun!
Where on earth did you find this idea?!
I've never seen anything like this, it's really cool!
I've never seen this before, and it looks so fun.
