Play Doh?
Could someone post their recipe for play doh please? I think I have all the ingrediants in the cupboard now but just need to know what to do.
Many thanks, Chell |
Hiya, this is the basic cooked version .. I've not got the Microwave one to hand at the mo .. hopefully someone can post it here.. Basic playdough recipe 2 mugs of flour 1 mug salt 2 tablespoons Oil 2teaspoons cream of tartar 1 ½ mugs wate 1 Tsp food colouring Moisturising hand cream - helps counteract the effect of salt on skin, improves consistency & also helps lengthen storage time.  Place all the ingredients into a saucepan and mix together. Cook over a medium heat until the mixture forms a dough and begins to leave the sides of the pan. Turn out onto a surface and once cooled a little knead until smooth. Add a scoop of hand moisturising cream and knead again. Cut into sections and color each one with different food dyes. Store in an airtight container.There are a few activity ideas available on Magical Mammoth's page xx |
Ooops, I just read this quickly then went off to make it. I had bought cream of tartar and noticed that I ddidn't need it for this.
I have just come back, re-read the post and realised that you had listed cream of tartar. Oh well, it seems ok, they are happily playing with it. Many thanks, Chell |
LOL :D thats all that matters !!
I think the tartar adds to the preservation of the dough by preventing the salt from crystallising ! |
Even if it doesn't last they have had good fun from it. My son is 3, he sat for two hours playing with it. Its so much more fun having a huge pile of play dough rather than a tiny shop bought pot.
Thanks again, Chell |

DS got the pot of play dough out yesterday and took it through to the dining room while I got the cutters etc. Next minute he shouts, 'oops, something has happened!'. I went through to find his hands covered in red slimey gunk. I ran to get the camera before I cleaned him up. I will post the pictures of what happens if you forget the cream of tartar!
