How can you remove food colouring from your fingers?

[TinyGang]

Mine are now blue...some dripped on there when I was making some play-dough. Help!

How do you make playdough? I've always bought the stuff. Sorry no help re. blue fingers.

Do lots of washing up. you can come and do mine if you like

Ooh nice try TooTicky! My own kitchen needs attention and I'm messing about with play-dough

Easy to make belgo..

2 cups of plain flour
1 cup salt
4 tablespoons cream of tartar
2 cups water
2 cups oil (veg cooking oil)
Few drops of food colouring

In a large saucepan mix all the dry things together. Mix all the liquid stuff together and add to the pan. Mix it all up.

Cook gently over a low heat. Keep stirring to avoid lumps. It all sticks together and leaves the sides of the pan. This happens fairly quickly, so don't leave it! Allow to cool. I sprinkle with a little bit more flour to make it easy to handle. Can be kept in a box in the fridge and re-used if you like.

Avoid getting the colouring on you!

Also fun to watch dh/dp's face as they think it's something for dinner

lemon juice?

You can't, you'll just have to wait for it to wear off

thanks! My two year old will love that .

Thank you GS! I shall put a rumour on the style threads that blue fingers are the latest must have look.

You can speed it up with face scrub or a sugar and cream/oil mix, quite abrasive.
