Grandkids Love Play Dough


A couple of my sweet little granddaughters came over to play for a couple hours.  Avery let me know yesterday she wanted to make play dough.  Here are all the ingredients:  
2 cups water
3 tablespoons oil
food coloring
2 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup salt
1 tablespoon alum


 Lilly poured the water in a saucepan along with the oil. 



While we waited for the water to boil, they added flour, salt and alum  in a large bowl and stirred it up.


 We added food coloring to the water.  Avery wanted pink so we added some red to the water and poured it into the flour mixture. 
It was hot, so I stirred it in and then dumped it on the counter.

 Avery and Lilly used their hands to mix it in.  They had to be careful at first because it was still hot.

Now it is all ready and they had so much fun playing with it.  After they left, I put it in a plastic storage bag so it will be ready for them next time they come to play.
