Making and colouring your own playdough is easy, inexpensive and fun. And unlike most shop bought playdough this version is gluten free. Note: this recipe is for play purposes only, not for consumption.
Measure the flour, cornflour, salt and vitamin C into a saucepan and stir to combine.
Add the water, oil and colouring and stir to make a smooth runny paste.
Put the pan over a medium heat and continue to stir as the mixture heats to a thick paste.
Lower the heat and continue stirring until a ball of playdough is formed.
Turn out the playdough onto a plate to cool.
When cold store in an airtight container until required for play.
