Here's an affordable, nontoxic recipe for playdough, which could provide hours of fun for kids.

Start by putting 4 cups of flour in a large bowl.

Make a well in the center and add 1 cup of water, 1/4 cup of rock salt, and 1 tablespoon vegetable oil.

Mix by using both hands, adding water as needed by sprinkling small amounts each time, until all ingredients are well blended.

Divide the dough into four parts.

For each part, sprinkle a few drops of food coloring of choice (use the powdered type mixed in a teaspoon of water, which is more affordable that the ready-made liquid type) and knead well until the color is well incorporated in the dough.

The playdough is now ready for use.

The dough will keep indefinitely if, after use, this is placed in plastic wrap and kept in the refrigerator.
