• 2 cups boiling

• Food coloring or kool-aid packet

Mix all of the ingredients above the line in a large bowl while you bring the water to a boil.

Add the color to the boiling water then pour the boiling water into the salt/flour mixture. Mix until it is not too gooey to handle. Dump the mixture out on the table and knead out any flour lumps and voila!

Add whatever fun stuff to it for color, texture, smell...experiment and have fun!
