Mix all ingredients and knead until smooth (add more water or flour to get the desired consistency). Divide into small rounds and color with food coloring if desired. Roll out divisions to ½” thick. Cut into shapes, adding a wire hanger if needed. Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet or pan. Allow to cool then sand lightly. Paint with acrylic poster paints.
