Recycle a jar for this great teachers gift.

Reuse: Dryer Lint as Modeling Dough

Since you most likely have it in abundance, use it to make homemade modeling dough. Simply mix the lint with water and flour (and, if you prefer, food coloring), as directed below for an ear-resistible s...culpture of Dumbo.

To make the modeling dough:

Place 3 cups (shredded) dryer lint into a pot.
Pour in 2 cups water.
Stir in 1 cup flour.
Add ½ teaspoon vegetable oil.
Stir continuously over low heat until the mixture binds together and is of a smooth consistency.
Pour onto a sheet of wax paper to cool.See More
