It is necessary

- Flour - 3 cups;
- Salt - 2 cups;
- Water - 1 glass;
- Paints and brushes for coloring figures.
Instructions
Step 1
First of all, knead the ingredients to such a consistency that the resulting dough does not stick to your hands, as well as to the dishes. Add a little more salt or, conversely, water as you prepare the dough. It all depends on how thick the dough will be. Feel free to experiment with consistency.
Step 2
Now you can mold any crafts from the finished dough, for example, figurines of men, heroes of fairy tales, animals and whatever your heart desires. After that, the finished figures must be dried. It can be dried at room temperature, especially if the figures are small and not very bulky. Or you can dry it in the oven at a temperature of 120-140 degrees Celsius. In large figures, it is necessary to make a puncture inside for better and faster drying.
Step 3
Color the figures. You can use watercolor and add PVA glue to it, and then use this mixture. This will keep the paint much better.
