Save money and have fun making your own craft supplies and art materials. This book contains over 100 safety-tested recipes for making dough, clay, paint, and much more -- using ingredients already found in your kitchen. The book also includes projects you can do with the finished materials.

This is a great resource for providers and parents alike. Many of the recipes are easy and safe enough for children to help make, which gives them a chance to build their literacy and math abilities as they follow the recipes. For providers who use discovery tables, these materials and activities can also encourage children's sensory exploration.
