Description
A delightful project to create a charming baking soda dough snowman, perfect for winter decor and gifts.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup baking soda
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 3/4 cup water
- Craft supplies for decoration (e.g., buttons, ribbons, markers, googly eyes)
- Clear sealant (optional for longevity)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of baking soda and 1/2 cup of cornstarch.
- Gradually stir in 3/4 cup of water until you have a smooth mixture.
- Transfer the mixture to a pot and heat it over medium heat, stirring constantly.
- Continue stirring until the dough thickens and pulls away from the sides of the pot (about 5-7 minutes).
- Remove the dough from the heat and let it cool briefly before handling.
- Using a rolling pin, flatten the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness on a sheet of parchment paper.
- Use round cookie cutters to cut out circles for your snowman’s body (3 circles: large, medium, small).
- Stack the circles from largest on the bottom to smallest on top to create your snowman shape.
- Once assembled, decorate the snowman using craft supplies. Use buttons for the body, a small twig for a nose, and markers for facial features.
- If desired, spray with clear sealant to preserve your creation.
