For a smoother dough, ensure the flour and cornstarch are well combined before adding the glue. If the mixture is too sticky, add a bit more cornstarch, or if it's too dry, a little more water. This can be a fun project for kids, and you can also use colored glue for added creativity. For a sensory play experience, consider incorporating essential oils for scent.
