Foam clay is a product that is fun to play with. The properties of foam clay allow an individual to stretch, bounce, throw and make objects from the clay. It does not dry out while playing with it but it needs to be kept in an air tight container when stored. This will prolong the life of the foam clay. Common household items are used to make foam clay including white glue, liquid starch and salt.
Step 1
Pour 1/2 cup white glue into a mixing bowl. Add 1 cup liquid starch and 5 teaspoons salt.
