Homemade play dough is so easy to make, you will wonder why you ever bought it once you try this recipe.

Its all done in one saucepan and there is enough play dough that you can divide the batch into four and make different colours like I have done.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups of plain flour
  • 3/4 cups of salt
  • 1 1/2 cups of water
  • 1 tb vegetable oil
  • 1/2 tb cream of tartar

Mix all the ingredients in saucepan over low heat until the mixture all comes together.  This happens quite quickly so don’t leave it on the stove.

Remove from the saucepan and mix by hand.

I mixed the food colouring in by hand,so it blends in perfectly.

Be sure to check what colours have been requested.
