- 1 cup plain flour
- 1/4 cup table salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup hot water (colored with food coloring of your choice)
- 2 tbsp cooking oil
- Food coloring (gel recommended for vibrant color)
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, mix the plain flour and table salt thoroughly so that the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Add Food Coloring to Hot Water: Add your preferred gel food coloring into the hot water. Use a generous amount to ensure the play dough will have a bright, vibrant color.
- Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Carefully pour the colored hot water into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Add the 2 tablespoons of cooking oil to the mixture.
- Initial Mixing: Mix all ingredients with a spoon or spatula until combined and the dough starts to come together.
- Cool Down Dough: Allow the play dough to cool enough so you can handle it safely without burning your hands.
