Here’s a quick and easy play-dough recipe you can make at home with common ingredients:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup salt
- 1 tablespoon cream of tartar (optional, but adds elasticity)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or coconut oil)
- 1.5 cups boiling water
- Food coloring (optional)
Instructions:
- Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and cream of tartar. - Add Oil and Coloring:
Add the vegetable oil to the dry ingredients. If using food coloring, mix it into the boiling water first to ensure even coloring. - Add Boiling Water:
Slowly pour the boiling water into the dry mixture while stirring with a spoon. - Knead the Dough:
Once the dough cools slightly, knead it with your hands until it becomes smooth and pliable. If the dough feels too sticky, add a little more flour. - Store Properly:
Store the play-dough in an airtight container or ziplock bag to keep it soft for weeks.
Optional Add-Ins:
- Scents: Add vanilla extract, cinnamon, or essential oils for a fun sensory experience.
- Glitter: Sprinkle in some glitter for sparkly play-dough.
Now you’re ready for hours of creative, mess-free fun! 🎨
