​Making your own soft Beeswax for modelling and Storytelling
 
Put 150g Beeswax and 150g Vaseline together in an old pot and warm slowly, stirring and melting.
Little by little, add 260g Cornflour.
Keep stirring until it connects and becomes a good smooth substance. Stir further until it cools down.
You can keep it either in an oil cloth or in a tin. This material is always ready to be used and does not need to be warmed before forming with the hands.
Easy for children to use.

Endless stories to be told!!
