Ingredients: 8 tbsp plain flour

Some lovely food colourings

Directions: |
Directions:Throw all the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl and mix them together.
In a different bowl mix all the liquids. How much food colouring you use is up to you, more will make a more intense colour (obvs). I added quite a bit to ours – you can always add a little bit later if you’re not happy.
Then pour the liquids onto the flour and mix it all together. You can use a spoon or your fingers, although it can be quite clingy at this stage so a spoon may be best.
This is the point where you can add some more colouring if you want. Make sure you get all the sticky little bits off the sides of the bowl.
When it all starts to come together (only after a minute or so) transfer it onto a flour-dusted surface.
Now you have to knead it for a few minutes. This part is pretty important so keep going until you are really happy with the consistency. If it’s a little sticky still, add some more flour to the board and if seems too dry you can wipe it with a little more water. Don’t add too much though as a little goes a long way. You don’t want to be playing the water-flour balancing game (I played this before and lost)! |

Notes: Get the kids involved in the making process. You can teach them about weight and measurement and they’ll just love to get all messy! Plus, it’s great that they’ll be able to play with something they actually made! You should then store it in plastic airtight containers and it can last for at least 6 months if you don’t leave it out after playing with it. If it starts to dry up a bit you can add a little more water and knead it to keep it going for a while longer.
