One of Miss K’s fave things to play with is play dough, she likes it so much at the moment that I reckon we have been going through tubs of it on a regular basis!
I was getting a bit tired of spending so much money on the stuff, I kept getting all this cheap and hard play dough that just dried out and could only be used a couple of times before it was ready for the rubbish bin. When I was a kid my mum always made our play dough for my sister and I so I went on a search for the best play dough recipe and I think I found it!
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup salt
- 1 cup plain flour
- 2 Tbsp cream of tartar
- 1 cup water
- 1 Tbsp oil
- food colouring
Method:
- Mix all ingredients together in a medium-sized saucepan.
- Stir over heat until dough is pliable.
- Allow to cool and store in a well sealed plastic bag or container.
This recipe makes a ton of play dough, its soft and if stored properly doesnt dry out at all! Miss K and I made a batch and it has been keeping her busy all week. I will definitely be making our own play dough from now on, I only wish I had done it sooner!
