1 cup salt
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons oil

Add water to flour and salt. Mix to the consistency of dough. A few drops of cooking oil will keep the mixture pliable. Add food coloring if desired. Stored in an air-tight container, it will keep for several weeks. (It will dry and harden if left in air.) Projects may then be painted and shellacked.
