Here is a recipe I got from a preschool:


3 cups flour


1/2 salt


1 T alum


1 package unsweetened Kool-Aid (for color)


2 cups hot water


3 T corn oil


1 cup additional flour





Combine all ingredients except add'l flour into a dough. Using some or all of the additional flour, knead dough until it reaches desired consistency.





Here's another I found online:


3 cups flour


1 1/2 cups salt


3 T oil


1 cup water


1 T food coloring





Mix all ingredients together.

I use corn starch or flour. its cheap and I have used it for years. Good luck
I think I remember something about flour and salt from when I was little. Don't know exact measurements, but we couldn't afford modeling clay so my mom made this for us to play with.
