Play Dough Recipes
Cooked Play Dough
1 cup of salt
2 cups of plain flour
2 tablespoons of oil
1-2 teaspoons of cream of tartar
2 cups of water
food colouring
Method
Combine ingredients in a saucepan, adding water and
oil last and stirring in gradually. Cook
3-5 minutes constantly until the mixture leaves the side of the pan and
forms one mass. Knead slightly on a table top. Store in an airtight
container. The dough should keep for months.
Uncooked Play Dough
½ cup salt
1 cup of flour
¼ teaspoon of vegetable dye
water
Method
Place the flour in the bowl. Add salt and stir. Add
a little vegetable dye. Add water slowly and stir until a dough forms. Keep
stirring and kneading until smooth and stretchy.
To keep: add 1 drop of peppermint oil or
antiseptic.
To store: Keep in an air tight container in the
fridge. This dough should last up to 2 weeks. Add more flour if the dough
becomes sticky.
Don’t forget, kneading bread dough is also
another great activity. And the kids can eat it!
