You may be asking yourself, ‘Why would I ever make playdough when it’s so darn cheap to buy?’ That’s true, but it is even cheaper to make and if your toddler puts everything into his mouth like mine does, you’ll want to make sure that it is completely safe and free of chemicals and toxins. This recipe is not only a cheap way to make playdough, but its all natural, easy and keeps for about 6 months. Give it a try one of these cold, rainy winter days.
Here’s the recipe:
1/2 c. salt
1 c. flour
1 Tb. cream of tartar
1 Tb. oil
1 c. water
food coloring
Combine ingredients in a pot and heat gently while stirring. When it reaches a good playdough-like consistency take it off the stove and let it cool. At this point I divided it into fourths and kneaded in the food coloring. However you could add the food coloring in while it is in the pot and stir well. It keeps 6 months if you keep it in tupperware. Don’t refrigerate.
