Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour*
  • 1 cup salt
  • 1 cup water

Directions

  1. 1

    Combine the flour and salt in a large mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Gradually add water while stirring and mixing to form a dough with a Play-Doh like consistency.

  3. 3

    Form the dough into a ball and knead for approximately 5-7 minutes, until the dough is smooth and firm. Additional water may be needed, depending upon humidity. Add a teaspoon of water at a time until the dough reaches the proper texture. On the other hand, if the dough is too sticky, add more flour by the teaspoon until it's no longer tacky.

  4. 4

    Store the salt dough in a Ziploc bag when it's not in use to prevent it from drying out.
