Easy Play Clay

Hi everyone!
First of all, I'm really sorry that I didn't post last week.  I completely forgot!  Anyway, I a tutorial for you guys this week that's great for little children.  Play clay!  Check back next week for more crafty tutorials and comment down below if you'd like to see some greeting cards, painted galaxy tutorial, or get organized!  Thanks for stopping by!! 


Ingredients

- 2 cups of sifted flour
- 1 cup of salt
- 6 teaspoons of alum (Alum acts as a preservative.  You don't need it, but it will stay longer if you include it.  If you don't, add extra flour.)
- 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
- 1 cup of water
- food coloring (optional)

Directions 

1. Mix all materials together (except the food coloring) in a medium-sized bowl until they form a dough.
2. Carefully knead the food coloring into the clay.  Six drops of blue gave me a really pretty pastel green/sea foam blue.  (It doesn't really show up of camera though)
3. Store the play clay in a sealed bag or air tight container.
