No cook Play Clay.
Recipe from Disney Family Fun Magazine October 2009 issue.

Ingredients:
1 cup flour
3/8 cup salt
1 tablesppon vegetable oil
Optional - Natural dye (see below)

How to make natural dye...
Brown - 3/8 cup plus one tablesppon hot water and 4 tablesppons cocoa powder
Fuchsia - 3/8 cup hot beet juice (liquid from 15 ounce can of beets)
Orange - 3/8 cup hot water and 1 tablesppon paprika
Yellow - 3/8 cup hot water and 1 teaspooon turmeric



Combine the flour and salt in a medium-size bowl.
Add oil and chosen natural dye and stir well.
Knead the dough on floured surface for a few minutes.
If the clay is too soft, add a bit more flour.
Store the clay in airtight containers in the refrigerator.


I haven't tried the recipe above...
I still have the traditional homemade play dough I made maybe a month ago.
If any of you try the above recipe above tell me how it turned out.
Happy playing then.
