PLAYDOUGH RECIPE
Keep your kids busy on those rainy spring days!
How to make playdough
Playdough ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup salt
4 teaspoons cream of tartar
2 cups lukewarm water
2 Tablespoons of vegetable oil (co-
conut oil works too)
Food coloring, optional
Quart sized bags
Directions:
1. Stir together the flour, salt and cream of tartar in a large pot.
2. Add the water and oil. If you’re only making one color, add in the color now as well.
3. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly.
4. Continue stirring until the dough has thickened and begins to form into a ball.
5. Remove from heat and then place inside a gallon sized bag or onto wax paper.
6. Allow to cool slightly and then knead until smooth.
7. If you’re adding colors after, divide the dough into balls (for how many colors you
want) and then add the dough into the quart sized bags. Start with about 5 drops of
color and add more to brighten it.
8. Knead the dough, while inside the bag so it doesn’t stain your hands.
9. Once it’s all mixed together you’re ready to PLAY.
Store the play dough inside the bags once done to keep soft. Keeps for up to 3 months.
