I've been wanting to make playdough for months, if not years. And today, at the request of a sick child, I did. It was much easier than expected, although some tips along the way.
I adapted this Easy no-cook playdough recipe.
However, next time I won't use wholemeal flour (that's what I had on hand), and I will add just one drop of food colouring, not one teaspoon.
INGREDIENTS
3/4 cup salt (so the children won't want to eat it!)
2 cups flour
2 tbsp cream of tartar
1 tbsp sunflower oil
1/4 tsp food colouring (here I used 1 tsp and it was too dark for my liking)
1 cup of water
STEP 1
Mix dry ingredients and add oil.
STEP 2
In a separate bowl, mix food colouring to water.
STEP 3
Slowly add water to dry ingredients and mix until combined.
STEP 4
Knead in bowl and onto flat surface. Ready to use.
Note: When finished with dough, cover well in cling wrap and place in airtight container in fridge. Will stay fresh for a couple of months.
