Play Dough

By oakleyj

Ingredients

• 1 cup white flour
• 1/2 cup salt
• 2 tablespoon alum (try drug store)
• 2 tablespoon oil
• 1/2 cup water (or a little less)
• food coloring

Preparation

Step 1

1. Add your food coloring to the water

2. Mix together all the other ingredients in the bowl and add the colored water just a little bit at a time until it feels like dough. Don't worry if you don't use all the water.

3. At first, your play dough will seem a little oily, so play with it on a sheet of newspaper and watch handprints.

4. When you're done, put it in a plastic bag or airtight container and store in the fridge.
