It was even easier than I thought (though stirring made my arm ache!). Credits for the recipe go to Yackandandah Kindergarten, as I used the one in their 2011 Cookbook which I was given for Christmas last year.
Ingredients
2 cups plain flour
4 tablespoons cream of tartar
2 tablespoons cooking oil
1 cup salt
2 cups water
Food Colouring
Method
Mix all ingredients in a large saucepan and stir over a medium heat until the mixture congeals.
The recipe suggested that you wait until its finished and then split into smaller portions and add colour, but I added the colour earlier, so that it mixed in easier. It means we only have one colour but that's just fine - we'll use a different colour next time!

In my experience with small children there's no point in making more than one colour, it all ends up brown anyway.
