  • Question
    Can you use flour instead of corn- flour?
    Community Answer
    No, because they have different consistency. The flour will make it dry out quickly.

  • Question
    What I can use if I don't can't find alum?
    Community Answer
    You can try the other three ways of making cornstarch playdough, the two-ingredient play dough, simple play dough and edible play dough, as none of these not require alum.

  • Question
    Can I color the dough with markers?
    Fangfei Liu
    Community Answer
    No, it doesn't work. You will find that when mixing the dough with the marker ink will get all over your hands, and no matter how much marker you put in, it will still be the some color, or very light.
