List O' Stuff 

• 2 Cups of Flour
• 2 Cups of Warm Water
• 1 Cup of Salt
• 2 Tablespoons of Vegetable Oil
• 1 Tablespoon Cream of Tarter (Optional but really helps with the elasticity)
• Food Coloring ( Liquid, Powder, or Kool-Aid type mixes)
• Scented Oils (Optional, but smelling pretty is a plus)

How To

• Mix the flour, water, salt, vegetable oil, and cream of tarter in a pot over low heat. The mixture will start to look like mashed potatoes. 
• When the dough starts to clump in the center pot, remove from heat. 
• Allow dough to cool down
• Place the dough on a clean counter or silicone mat. 
• Knead dough until it is silky smooth.
• Divide the dough into balls
• Poke a little divot in the ball and drop in the food coloring. Work the dough until the color is throughout. 
• Play 'til your hearts content
• Store in an airtight container

Tips

• If the dough is still sticky, just cook it a bit longer. 
• Try to keep the dye away from your hands and counter. Gloves and plastic wrap will keep the color where it should be. 
• The "Kool-Aid" type dyes will not go as far as the real dyes. 
• If it starts to dry out you can knead a bit of water back into it. 
• If it gets soggy, you can reheat to cook off some of the water. 
• You can bake this dough and paint it afterwards!
