Let's solve this step-by-step based on the instructions in the passage.

Step 1: Read and Understand the Process

The passage gives a sequence of steps to make play clay:

1. First, put ¾ cups of salt and 1½ cups of flour into a bowl.
2. Next, put a few drops of food coloring into ¼ cup of water.
3. Pour the water into the bowl.
4. Last, mash everything together with your hands until it feels like clay.
5. Add more flour if the clay is sticky.
6. Now you can play with your clay!

We are asked to number the following sentences in the correct order (1, 2, 3, 4) based on the process.

Step 2: Match Each Sentence to Its Correct Step

Let’s go through each sentence and find its place in the sequence:

1. "Play with your play clay."
→ This is the final step ("Now you can play with your clay!") → Step 4

2. "Put salt and flour in a bowl."
→ This is the first step ("First, put ¾ cups of salt and 1½ cups of flour into a bowl.") → Step 1

3. "Mash everything together."
→ This is the last action before playing ("Last, mash everything together...") → Step 3

4. "Put food coloring in water."
→ This comes after putting salt and flour, but before pouring water into the bowl → Step 2
