Air dry cinnamon dough

I teach young kids these days. This means a need for excellent non toxic airdrying sculpture materials. This has the benefit of being washable, and drying in 3 or so days. You can paint it with tempera paint ,carve it and mould it.  Mix equal parts cinnamon and  jarred applesauce ( or pureed homemade). Knead to combine. Shape your dough and place on a piece of paper to dry. The time depends on thickness. This can be used to make things that last well like 'jewelry' , sculptures and air fresheners. Just make sure to poke a hole in the item if you want to hang it BEFORE it dries and to coat it with a layer of glue if using it as jewelry.
