Recipe for homemade play dough

I made this play dough all the time for my children.

Ingredients
2 cups of flour
1 cup salt
2 cups of boiling water
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 teaspoons cream of tartar

This recipe is so easy you just throw every thing in a bowl and mix, then comes the fun bit you can get you hands in (be careful may be a little hot) and knead the dough for a few minutes and then its ready to go.


If you want you can add colours and smells to you play dough.

I find the best way to make sure the colour is mixed well in to the dough is to add the food colouring to the boiling water.

I find this recipe so much easier than the one where you have to cook it in a pan and burn the bottom and ruin one of your pans

Cream of tar tar comes in a tub like baking powder and is in the same place in the shop took me ages to find it the first time as I didn't have a clue what cream of tar tar was.

I do like smelly play dough my favourite has got to be strawberry flavour because it really smells like pick and mix, I also like the chocolate smell. I sit and sniff while my children play.

My one word of warming would be if you children are quite young then if the play dough smells like food then they might be more likely to put the play dough in there mouth.

This play dough recipe divides in to about 4 big portions and keeps for a couple of weeks if kept in a air tight tub.

Will keep the kids happy for hours

Summary: a great thing to make for little ones
