What a great idea! I bet that smells amazing too!

We used cinnamon to color the clay.

Absolutely! That should definitely work. :)

Thanks!

Hi Ann! I cut my block into 5 slabs. With 8 kids, I would probably double the recipe, but if you don’t mind them having smaller slabs, that could work too! Ours were pretty sturdy when they dried, so you could probably also go a little thinner, but if you go too thin, they will be fragile. Good luck!

The picture shows 5. If I have 8 students would I be better off doubling it?

Thank you.

Yes, it does! Depending on the thickness, it will air dry in a day or two and you might need to flip it over to expose both sides to air. Also depending on the thickness, it might be a little fragile!
