This is the recipe for play-doh that I use
2+cups white flour (cheap stuff)
1/2 cup salt1 cup warm/hot tap water
1 tsp oil
koolaid for color (or tempera paint, or glitter, or whatever dyes you have around). I used koolaid.
mix dry stuff, mix koolaid with water, add wet to dry, stir. knead in enough extra flour so it's not sticky anymore. store in a bag at room temp (for months and months).
