more on play dough
June 26th, 2009
I tried tinting the plain batch of play dough. Since I only used small balls of dough, I only needed a couple of drops of food coloring. They were about the size of a golf ball. The colors came out pretty vivid, but again, they were small bits of dough, and it would have taken a good bit of coloring to color the whole batch this way. I also tried using paste food coloring that is usually used for coloring icing. that worked really well and since it is a concentrated coloring, it didn’t take a lot of coloring to get darker colors. Once the color is worked into the dough, it doesn’t come off on your hands. I ended up with some black coloring on my hands, but that was where I touched the gel before it was worked in all the way.
