Cotton Clay


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!
