Have you said "You're a great helper!" to a child today?
Bakers Clay Shamrocks
1 1/2cups warm water
green food coloring
1 cup salt
4 cups flour
green pipe cleaner
wiggle eyes
different colors craft foam
glue gun
Mix water and salt, stir until dissolved,(add food coloring to water). Add flour and knead for 5 minutes. Roll out dough - about 1/4in. thick. Cut shamrock shapes with cookie cutter or a pattern. Mine where 4in. high and 3 1/2 in. wide, put on cookie sheet and bake for 30 minutes or until hard. Cut mouths and noses out of craft foam, I also made hats for them out of craft foam, cut pipe cleaner in half and make bows to glue on the stem. they are very cute, enjoy. Variation: You can also simply paint the baked clay with green paint to add more color, and decorate with sparkles!
