"Play"ing with dough

Family Fun Magazine had an article on making all natural play clay. My kiddos LOVE Play Dough but go through it very quickly. So, I figured this would be a good opportunity for us to learn how to make our own...plus help us save some of our hard earned "DOUGH". We made the brown clay, because I honestly didn't have any beet juice (makes pink), paprika (makes orange) or turmeric (makes yellow). I did have cocoa, so brown it was!!!

All you need is:

* 1 cup flour

* 3/8 cup salt

* 1 tbsp vegetable oil

* natural dye

Brown -3/8 c hot water & 4 tbsp. cocoa

Pink - 3/8 c hot beet juice juice from 15 oz can

Orange - 3/8 c hot water & 1 tbsp. paprika

Yellow - 3/8 c hot water & 1 tsp. turmeric

Have fun playing!!!!
