There are recipes for a salt and flour based clay that is very simple, can be dyed with food coloring, non-toxic and self-hardening.

* 1 cup flour
* 3/4 cup salt
* 1/2 cup water
* 1/4 cup cooking oil
* Food coloring

What to do:

1. Place the flour, salt and oil in a mixing bowl and stir with a wooden spoon.

2. Combine water and food coloring then gradually add the colored water to the flour mixture.

3. When you have created things with the clay, you can bake them to harden the clay. Put the oven on low heat (300ºF/150ºC) and bake for 1-2 hour
