"Hi this is Stacy and in this video clip I will show you how to make homemade play dough. The ingredients are alum, water, flour, salt, oil, measuring spoons, measuring cups, a mixing bowl and a mixing spoon. Start with one cup of flour, half a cup of salt, one teaspoon of alum, two tablespoons of oil and half a cup of water. You can add food coloring also if you'd like. Now you want to stir it up. Now that you have mixed it up it is ready to be played with. This recipe is really good for younger children because it requires no boiling of water, it's a no-cook recipe. Once again you can add food coloring just to brighten it up for the kids to play with and you can use cookie cutters and other tools to build with your play dough."
