Method 

1. In a large bowl, combine all of the dry ingredients and mix well. 

2. Mix the food colouring with water first before you add the vegetable oil and the food colouring mixed with water to a large pot. Mix them together. 

3. Add the dry ingredients to your pot and combine them together. 

4. Cook the mixture over low to medium heat until the dough starts to form and becomes dry. 

5. When it starts to come together to form a ball shape and looks fully cooked, take the mixture off the heat and let it cool before you start touching it. 

6. Once it's cool, knead the dough for 5 minutes to make it nice and soft. 

7. Repeat the process to create different coloured batches of play dough. Have fun!
