You’ll need:
2 cups of flour
2 tbsp of oil (any oil will do—coconut oil, vegetable oil, even olive oil)
1/2 cup of salt
2 tbsp cream of tartar
1 1/2 cup boiling water
Instructions
đź–ŤPour 2 cups of flour into a bowl.
đź–ŤAdd 1/2 cup of salt.
đź–ŤMix in 2 tbsp of cream of tartar. You can find this in the spice section of most grocery stores.
🖍Add 2 tbsp of oil. For this recipe, I used vegetable oil, but you can use any oil. As long as it’s a kitchen oil, your playdough will be non-toxic and safe if a little one takes a taste. The sodium level is very high, so we don’t encourage this as a snack!
đź–ŤPour in the boiling water. Be VERY careful because this makes the dough HOT!
🖍Mix all the ingredients together until they form the dough. If you don’t want to add color, the playdough is done!
đź–ŤTo make multiple colors of playdough, let it cool, then separate the dough into equal parts and roll it up into balls.
Punch out the middle of the ball to leave a little bowl for you to pour your gel food dye into.
đź–ŤPut your gel dye into the bowls. This is a great time to mix colors!
🖍Knead the dough until the dye is thoroughly mixed. This is VERY messy! If you don’t want to stain your hands, use gloves, and make sure to put something down so you don’t stain your counter.
