Family Fun-Homemade Playdough

Homemade playdough is easy to make and has a great texture and doesn’t dry out as quickly as the store bought stuff. Not to mention it’s completely safe and non-toxic. This also makes a great handmade gift. We store ours in small tupperware containers.

Try making this with your kids. They’ll love it!

Homemade Playdough

Ingredients:

3 cups flour, sifted
1 1/2 cup salt
6 teaspoons cream of tartar
3 1/4 cup water
3 tablespoons oil
food coloring (I use the gel kind)

Whisk all the dry ingredients together in a large pot until no lumps remain.  Whisk in the wet ingredients (except for the food coloring) and stir until no lumps remain.  Cook on high for 3-4 minutes until a dough forms. Separate into several portions and add food coloring, kneading until uniform in color.  Store in airtight containers.
