Play dough Recipe

Dear parents, some of you have been asking me to give you a play dough fail-proof recipe. So, I am going to give you the recipe that I normally use.

You will need:

  • 1 cup flour
  • 2 tsp cream of tartar – can easily be bought from the supermarket
  • 1/2 cup salt
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 cup water
  • food coloring

Instruction:

  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt and cream of tartar and mix well.
  • In a pot, mix the food coloring with the water. Then add the vegetable oil and mix together again.
  • Add the dry ingredient in the pot and mix well.
  • Cook over low to medium heat until the dough starts to form and become dry. It is important that you mix the contents so that they wont stick with the pot.
  • Once it starts to form a ball together and looks fully cooked, take off the heat. Let the dough cool first before you touch it – it might take a few minutes to cool down.
  • Once cool, knead the dough for 5 minutes to make the dough soft.
  • It is important that you store the play dough in an airtight container when not being used.
