If you want to make a batch and store it for awhile, or reuse it over time, the alum helps it "hold up." But if you are going to use the dough right away, you can leave it out. If you think your children might eat the playdough, you should probably omit the alum, because eating a lot of it could make them sick.

I made this one when my son was 2 years old, and I had enough to make two because his hands were small. If you're making it for more than one child, or for a classroom setting, you can multiply the recipe. Thanks! The recipe should make enough for at least one child-sized hand.

All purpose or self-rising? I'm assuming all-purpose. I'm hoping to make one of these for my husband. This is his first Father's Day. Thanks for the instructions. Which type of flour?
