Some of us had great fun making play dough today. As requested, here is the recipe for a large batch. You can halve the amount for some about the size of a cereal bowl
1 cup cold water
1 cup salt
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 cups flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
Food coloring
In a large bowl, mix together water, salt, oil and a few drops of food coloring. Mix flour and cornstarch and add 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly (you may need a little more or a little less than 2 cups flour so make sure you stir in until it is the right consistency). Knead for a few minutes with flour on your hands.
This playdough will keep indefinitely if stored in a covered container (or you can use ziplock bags).
