Will the food color stain?

Yes it will! You can use gloves to knead in the color if you like. One you knead it is there is no need to worry. Kneading it is the part taht is messy. I usually wipe off my counter top with bleach and it removes all the color from the counter.

Thanks for sharing this recipe! Somewhere along the way, I picked up the tip to use unsweetened kool-aid powder to color the dough. It doesn't stain like the food coloring, and it makes a nice scent, too!
