Español de México Play Dough Recipe
2 cups flour 1 cup salt 2 tablespoons alum 1 cup boiling water 2 tablespoons oil Mix flour, salt, and alum in a large bowl. Make a dip in the center and add the oil and water. Mix together, adding more flour if too sticky or more water if too firm. Many teachers add Kool-Aid to the door for the scent and the color. If wanting to only color the playdough, squeeze a few drops of food coloring to the water and mix before adding the water to the flour mixture.

Goop Recipe
Add one box of cornstarch to 1 1/2 cups of water. Add water to the cornstarch until semi-firm. If the mixture becomes too hard, add more water. You might want several boxes to provide enough mixture for a water table. You can also use this mixture in a cake pan or a tray. To clean up goop from the floor, let it dry and then vacuum or sweep up.
