Instructons

  1. Pour water into a mixing bowl.
  2. Next, add food colouring. We added generous
    amounts of red and blue food colouring to
    make purple, which seemed like a galactic
    Colour! Once you add the food colouring to the
    water, stir well.
  3. Add the dry ingredients (flour and salt) to
    the mix. You can stir a little at this point to
    begin blending the ingredients.
  4. Next, add 2 to 4 tablespoons of oil. You can
    add more oil later if the mix seems too dry. Oil
    is the secret to keeping this "no cooking
    required" recipe soft! If you don't add
    enough oil, the mix will be very crumbly.
  5. This next step is a big hit with kids. Add
    generous amounts of glitter to your mix and
    begin mixing everything together.
  6. Knead the ingredients together until a soft
    dough is formed.
    To store, simply roll the dough into small balls and
    keep in plastic bags or a plastic container.
