Cozy up during this cold week and enjoy a sensory craft.
You will need a few items:
-Cotton balls
-Flour and water in a 1 to 1 ratio (ex: 1 cup flour, 1 cup water) You may use gluten free flour if you wish!
-Cinnamon, pumpkin pie, or any other fall spice mix if you wish to make this a scented craft
-Paint or food coloring: You may use water colors, acrylic, tempera, or food coloring
-A lined cookie sheet
-Something to break the cotton balls when done
-An oven
Mix up your flour and water, and add a small amount of the spices if using those. Divide and add different colors of paint or food coloring if you choose to color them. A little goes a long way! You do not need much. Dip each cotton ball in the mixture and put on the lined cookie sheet. You can place them individually, or together if you want to make something like a pumpkin.
Bake in the oven at 325 for about 30 minutes. Check on them occasionally to see if they are turning brown.
Remove from oven and be sure to let cool, they will be hot! Enjoy smashing them!
