Homemade Playdough

What You Need

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/4 cup salt
  • 2 T cream of tartar
  • 2 Tsp food coloring
  • 1 T vegetable oil
  • 1 cup water

What to Do

  1. Mix the flour, salt, and cream of tarter in a medium pot
  2. Add water, food coloring and oil
  3. Stir over medium heat for 3-5 minutes. Don't worry if the mixture looks like a lumpy mess; it's turn into dough
  4. When the mixture forms a ball in the center of the pot, turn off the stove and let it cool. Then take it out of the pot and put it onto a floured surface. Knead it several times.
  5. Store in the Ziploc bag or airtight container in the fridge.


*Special Note: Due to the high salt level of this playdough recipe, it is potentially toxic to domestic animals and should be handled with care. Make sure your dog doesn't eat it.

I remember my mum making home made playdough when I was a kid. She lost the recipe though. But this seems like it. Maybe I might make it for L if she doesn't put it in her mouth (pet peeve).
