Quick And Easy Modelling Dough




Source of Recipe


Just Recipes


List of Ingredients




3/4 cup flour (use any kind except for self-rising flour)
1/2 cup salt
1 1/2 tsp. powdered alum
1 1/2 tsp. vegetable oil
food coloring


Recipe



1. Combine flour, salt, and alum in a mixing bowl.

2. Add vegetable oil and boiling water. Stir vigorously with a spoon until well blended. Dough should not stick to the sides of the bowl and should be cool enough to handle.

3. Add food coloring and knead into dough until color is well blended and the dough is the desired tint.

Makes about 1 cup. Double the recipe for large projects. For groups, mix several double recipes rather then one large amount.

How to Use it: This is an excellent play dough. It has a smooth texture, takes about 15 minutes to make, and dries to a hard finish overnight. Use it to make lovely dough flowers as well as animals and other figures. Store in a jar with a tight lid. Dough will several months without refrigeration.
