Homemade Play Dough

Although this recipe isn't for the eating...it is still a nice one to have! We've made a few batches recently and the boys have been having so much fun playing with it. We just put it in zip top plastic baggies and it stays nice and soft. Of course you could also let their creations air dry, too! It's so easy to just mix up another batch!




Homemade Play Dough

1 cup flour
1/2 cup salt
1 cup water
1 Tbsp. oil
1 Tbsp. cream of tarter


Cook in medium saucepan over medium heat stirring constantly. Heat until dough pulls from sides. Divide into smaller balls and add food color. *I usually place the dough in a plastic bag, add the drops of food color, and squeeze outside of bag to mix the color in. Much easier than stirring and not as messy as using your hands.

I remember making this for my kids. It's so fun and works great. In Seattle weather, it didn't last as long as in a dry climate, but while it lasted, play-time was a blast!
