Playdough Recipe

Playdough Recipe

This is an excellent playdough recipe which is fun to make and never fails to provide amusement on a rainy afternoon! 

You will need:

1 cup plain (all-purpose) flour

˝ cup salt

2 tablespoons cream of tartar

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 cup water with food colouring added

1 teaspoon vanilla essence (optional but it makes the playdough smell nice!)

Put all the ingredients into a large saucepan, and stir over a medium heat until the dough forms into a ball. Allow to cool, and then knead until smooth. 

Store in an airtight container (a Ziploc bag with the air pressed out is good). 

Going-away present idea
Small bags of pre-made playdough also make a good “going-away” present for a toddler’s birthday party –
make up some large batches in different colours and divide it up. We have bag toppers here!

Playdough mix
You can also make this up as a gift mix. First colour the salt with food colouring and leave to dry. Mix the dry ingredients and put into a Ziploc bag with a label explaining how to make up the playdough.
We have recipe labels here!

Important - Please Read !

We have been advised that homemade playdough is a potential danger to household pets and must be kept safely out of their reach at all times.
