D.I.Y. Playdough Recipe

Playdough that you can make at home with some simple ingredients.

This recipe involves some cooking on your stove but the finished product is a better texture in my opinion.

• Just make sure to keep this away from your pets and don't let children eat it. It is non-toxic but it does contain a lot of salt which isn't good ingest.

Basic Ingredients:
2 cups flour
2 cups warm water
1 cup salt
2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
1 Tablespoon cream of tartar (optional for improved elasticity)
food coloring (liquid, powder, or unsweetened drink mix)

Mix all of the ingredients together, and stir over low heat on the stove top. The mixture will begin to thicken until it resembles mashed potatoes.

When the dough pulls away from the sides and clumps in the center, remove the pan from heat and allow the dough to cool enough to handle.

NOTE: if your playdough is still sticky, you just need to cook it longer.
Keep stirring and cooking until the dough is dry and feels like playdough.
