This preschool staple is easy to make in batches at home. It's worth keeping an assortment of bottled food coloring for projects like these, even if you don't use them often for cooking.

1 cup salt

¼ cups water

2 teaspoons vegetable oil

3 cups all-purpose flour (not self-rising)

2 tablespoons cornstarch

Food coloring

In a large bowl, mix salt, water and vegetable oil. Continue mixing while adding flour and cornstarch. Knead until smooth. If dough seems too sticky, add a little flour. If too dry, add a little water.

Divide the dough into several lumps. Add a few drops of food coloring to each lump and knead to mix the color into the dough. Store in air-tight containers, for this will dry out if exposed to air.
