Ingredients
- 2 cups baking soda

Instructions
- Start by adding baking soda, corn starch, and water to a pot. Cook the mixture, stirring continuously, over medium heat until it thickens to a mashed potato consistency and starts to come together.
- Dump out your craft dough onto parchment paper and cover with a damp cloth to keep it from drying out as you wait for it to be cool enough to handle. Keep a damp cloth on the unused dough while sculpting.
- Put your creations on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and bake at 175 Fareinheight for 45 minutes to 1 hr. They should set, but not brown.
- Allow your project to cool completely before you play with your creations, paint your seashells, or use them to decorate shelves with a fun beach theme.
