Playdough

By cacelias

This is a recipe for homemade playdough. I used to make this all of the time with my kids when they were younger. It's very soft and keeps well in a plastic bag. You can add whatever color food coloring you wish to make your own colors. A good activity to keep them busy for hours!

Ingredients

• 1 cup flour
• 1/2 cup salt
• 2 teaspoons alum
• 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 cup water
• food coloring

Preparation

Step 1

Mix the flour, salt and alum in a large bowl and set aside.

Bring the water, vegetable oil and food coloring to a boil and add to dry ingredients.

Mix with a wooden spoon until well incorporated.

When cool, knead dough with your hands until it becomes pliable.

Have fun!
