What type of oil do you use

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS RECIPE!
I made this for my grandsons rainy day activity, but I think I may be making another batch to have all to myself.
Used the gel coloring and the colors are so vibrant!
Thanks for the recipe! I made it over spring break with the kiddos. The consistency is perfect and we had hours of fun with it!
Does this need to be kept in the fridge?
My grandson loves this playdough
I do not store this in the fridge. I keep it in a ziploc.
Do you think it would be ok to use self rising flourished of all purpose?
Flour not flourished
I haven’t tried it with self rising. Please let us know how it works out if you do!
