Play Dough Recipe
Mar 10th, 2008 by Jane Blogs
My friend Solveig swears by this recipe; apparently it lasts for months. On Friday she came over to show us how it’s done.
Solveig’s son Daniel is Mr Bump’s best friend at pre-school and the boys & Daniel’s sister Rebekah had a ball adding the ingredients and mixing them in the pot. We made ours green, because that’s Mr Bump’s favourite colour.
You will need:
- 2 cups plain flour
- 4 tbspn cream of tartar
- 2 tbspn cooking oil
- 1 cup salt
- food colouring
- 2 cups water
- saucepan & stove
What to do:
- Mix the ingredients in a saucepan, stir over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until the mixture thickens.
- We found that ours was a bit too moist, so just add more flour a bit at a time if that happens with yours.
Other thoughts:
- This is actually the recipe on the back of McKenzie’s brand cream of tartar.
- You can make black play dough by using black powder paint or black tempera instead of food colouring.
- Try adding glitter for a bit of extra pizzazz!
!!! We normally use olive oil for cooking, so Solveig was kind enough to bring over some regular oil. She also claimed to have ‘an inordinate amount of salt’, due to the fact that they make play dough regularly, so thanks Solveig!
