Our Playdough Recipe

Ingredients

1 cup of flour 
1/2 cup of salt
1-2 tablespoons of oil
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 cup water & food colouring

Mix all of the dry ingredients together in a saucepan, then add the oil and the water.  Cook slowly over a low heat, stirring constantly until the dough comes together away from the edges of pan and become to solid to stir.  Remove from the heat and leave to cool until it is safe to handle.  Knead the dough and add food colouring, you are ready to play! Store your playdough in an airtight container or air lock bag, it should be fine to use for up to a week.

Fun Tip: Add essence; pink playdough that smells like strawberry or green playdough that smells like mint is great fun.  You can also add glitter to you playdough for extra sparkle!
