Prep Time 15 minutes
Servings 6

Equipment

  • 1 Pair of kitchen gloves
  • 1 Baking paper

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Cup Flour
  • 1 Cup Water
  • 2 Tsp Cream of Tarter
  • 1/3 Cup Salt
  • 1 Tbsp Oil
  • Food Colouring

Instructions
 

  • Mix the first 5 ingredients together in a pot (all but the food colouring).
  • Cook on medium/low heat stirring until it becomes a play-dough like consistency.
  • Turn the dough out on some baking paper. When it's cool enough to handle, knead it a few times until smooth.
  • Divide the dough into 6 balls, or into the number of colours you will be colouring the dough.
  • Pop on you kitchen gloves and add a few drops of food colouring to each ball, knead until the colour is well mixed through.
  • Wrap each ball in cling wrap and store in an airtight container. These can last for months when stored properly.

Notes

The food colouring in tubs in the photos above, I got from Spotlight and like to use a toothpick to apply the food colouring.
