Micah's homemade Christmas presents to the other kids (and himself) was modeling clay. It comes from an age-old recipe of Grandma Lee's that she used to make for us girls when we were little and has proven to bring great joy to our children (and many others) as well throughout the years. We mixed up the few ingredients then added food coloring~ making 5 different colors. 
We quickly found out that a fork was not going to work to mix it together so we had to use our hands.
Something that Micah was thrilled to do!
Next we rolled them into balls, put them into ziplock bags.
And sealed the bags.
Merry Christmas from Micah!

This clay is great for modeling and can also be baked. Guaranteed to give hours of delight to children young and old and to drive mothers crazy when it is tracked throughout the kitchen and the dining room and the living room.
Oh thank you for sharing this clay recipe. I hope to be supervising the mixing of a batch today!
