Gather your supplies and measure out your ingredients.
Step 2: Add the Flour
Add 1/2 cup of flour to your mixing bowl.

Add 1/4 cup of salt and stir the dry ingredients together so the color and scent spread evenly.
Step 4: Pour in the Water
Slowly pour in 1/4 cup of water while stirring. Adding it gradually helps prevent lumps.
Step 5: Add the Oil
Add a tablespoon of vegetable oil.
Step 6: Add the Strawberry Jello

Step 7: Knead the Dough
Once the mixture starts to come together, transfer it to a flat surface and knead it thoroughly. It should feel soft but not sticky. If it’s too wet, sprinkle in a little extra flour; if it’s too dry, add a drop or two of water.
All done!
Then play!
