Homemade Play Dough Recipe
This easy homemade play dough recipe uses common kitchen ingredients, is cheaper than store-bought play dough, and takes less than 10 minutes to make. I made 6 batches in 30 minutes. Pretty awesome, huh? And in my experience, it doesn’t crumble and make as big of a mess as the stuff from the store. It’s also hardier and lasts longer – I have a batch from well over a year ago that’s still going strong! And of course, it’s non-toxic!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup water
- 2 teaspoons cream of tartar (I highly recommend buying a large container; it’s much cheaper than the tiny ones from the grocery store!)
- 1/3 cup salt
- 1 tablespoon vegetable or canola oil
- food coloring
Instructions
- Mix together all the ingredients, except the food coloring, in a 2 quart saucepan.
- Cook over low/medium heat, stirring. Once it begins to thicken, add the food coloring.
- Continue stirring until the mixture is much thicker and begins to gather around the spoon.
- Remove the dough onto wax paper or a plate to cool.
- Store in a ziploc bag or sealed container.
