Homemade Play Dough

I don’t think this is better than store bought play dough, but it’s all natural and a fun activity! (Not for eating!)

Ingredients

  • Flour — 1 cup
  • Salt — 1/2 cup, ground finely
  • Cream of tartar — 2 teaspoons
  • Water — 1 cup, boiled
  • Vegetable oil — 1 tablespoon
  • Optional: food coloring

Instructions

  1. Mix all ingredients with spatula. When it cools down, knead with your hands. Add more flour or water to get the texture right.
  2. Separate them into balls and mix in food coloring. I use gloves for this or else the staining is hard to get off.
  3. Keep them in a ziplock bag when not in use.

Enjoy!
