A sturdy, nubbly dough that provides hours of smushing and sculpting

What You Need:

1 cup rolled oats (you can use instant or old fashioned)
2/3 cup all-purpose flour, plus extra
½ cup water
Food coloring (optional)

What To Do:

1. Stir together all the ingredients in a large bowl, adding more flour if necessary, until the dough forms a lump. For colored clay, you can add drops of food coloring to the water before combining it with the dry ingredients.

2. Knead it on a floured surface, adding flour as needed, until it is smooth and not too sticky.

Tips:
Allow finished creations to air-dry overnight. Leftover clay can be refrigerated in a ziplock bag for up to three days.
