Andy Whitelaw (41st Fife))
Notes
- Cost: the list below makes a ball of basic putty the size of a fist, and should do about ten scouts. Total cost was less than £10.
- Time: 15 minutes to make, up to half hour to apply
- Verdict: 10/10 Great fun.
Equipment
- 2 cups of Self raising Flour
- 1 Cup of salt
- 4 Teaspoons of Cream of Tartar
- 2 Cups of water
- 2 tablespoons of cooking oil
- Food colouring or liquid foundation
Instructions
- Put all the indredients into a pan, stir and cook until the mixture forms a soft ball.
- Making the flesh to the correct skin tone depends largely upon what skin tones you have in you Troop. I can get away with the bog standard pink tone most of the time. Minor variations in the pink skin can be dealt with by make up.
- I have not investigated the use of food colourings for darker skin tones but I should imagine that they should not be hard to get a hold of.
- One way of getting round the food colouring problem is to use a liquid foundation of the correct colour instead of the food colouring.

WARNING
Some food colourings can stain clothes or skin. Please try it out before you use it otherwise you may end up with a huge cleaning bill, multi-coloured Scouts and a queue of irate Scout parents.
