Ingredients

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
  • gel food coloring of your choice

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the flour and cornstarch. Mix well.

  2. In a small bowl or medium cup, combine the water, gel food coloring, and oil. Mix well

  3. Add the colored water to the dough and stir until it begins to form a ball of dough. Turn out the dough with all the remaining flour onto a clean hard surface. Knead well until smooth.

  4. Store in an airtight container when not in use.

Recipe Notes

If the dough starts to get a little dry, rub a little bit of oil on it with your fingers and knead it again. Store in an airtight container, wrapped in plastic wrap, or in a ziplock bag with all the air removed.

This playdough is only good for two or three days at most.
