Mixing up your
dough ..
For handmade playing dough, stir the following ingredients
together over a low heat. Exclude the moisturising cream which can
be added once the dough has cooked and cooled a little.
Once the dough cleanly leaves the side of the saucepan
turn out and leave to cool.
Knead to a smooth dough, adding the cream and any
scented spices where wanted.
The moisturising
cream will help to prevent the dough's salt content from drying
out the skin.

E120 from foodreactions.org,
cochineal, shellac. Check product labelling to see if it, or the individual
ingredients have been tested on animals - ideal labelling claim might
be 'product and ingredients never tested on animals'
