You’ll Need:

• 1 large mixing bowl
• 1 cup of water
• Food colouring (any colour)
• 4 Cups of flour
• 1½ cups of salt
• 4 tbsp of cooking oil

Directions:

Put all of the ingredients in the mixing bowl. With your hands, mix the ingredients together until the mixture is squishy—like clay.

Tip: Add glitter to your clay for some razzle dazzle!

When you’re finished playing, cover your clay and keep it in the fridge to keep it fresh!

See you next time,
