Categorized by art media, this book offers a delightfully messy range of creative activities for children to explore and experience. Review: I bought a second copy - I got this classic book when my children were young. Somehow it did not make it out here with us when we moved so I got another one for our grandchildren. It explains how to make a variety of dough-like materials so that they will be non-toxic and have just the texture you desire. It is more than just Play Dough-type play items. You may want a craft material that dries or stays soft. This is a good book for teachers, parents and grandparents. Review: What a wonderful memory for my children as I use this with my grandchildren! - My children and I used this book so much. When I showed it to my son and told him I bought it to used with his girls there was this magical look of fond recollection on his face. Hours of fun, educational, tactile experience in this book. Iโm so blessed to share it with a second generation.

Great book, great art resource
I've had my Mudworks book for about 20 years. I used it over and over in my homeschool, and bought this one for my daughter to use in her homeschool. So many creative recipes, laid out so well and so thoughtfully. Every kind of dough or clay imaginable. Great book, great art resource.

Easy, fun modelling for children (and adults)
Easy, fun modelling for children (and adults). Recipes for all kinds of doughy substances, which you can make from easily available ingredients. MaryAnn promotes really free play through handling and exploring. You will be amazed what kids (and others) will be able to come up with!! Very practical guide to enable an explosion of creativity. A lovely book for parents, teachers, play leaders (or anyone!)

It is a great book for ideas on different types and textures of "mud". However it can be quite a pain to get everything ready and then your child not enjoy it!!

recipe book for creative doughs with activities
Recipe book for loads of different doughs and clays. If you are Christian, you might want to remove a couple of pictures, but overall, the book is great.
