Thanks to jennabanana’s comment on this Instructable we made a quick, no cooking required, batch of homemade play dough. Stan requested it first, but they all jumped in for some fun.
Here’s her recipe:
- 3 cups flour
- 1/3 cup salt
- 2tbsp oil (veg)
- 1 cup water
- 7 drops food colouring.
- Mix dry ingredients with oil.
- add food colouring to water and mix together.
- add water to flour/salt/oil mixture slowly ~ about 1/4 cup at a time and mix together with a spoon.
- once you’ve added all the water, knead the dough with your hands.
Oh dear. A few months on and this stuff wasn’t great! It was slimy and had lots of liquid in the tub. So we’ve just had another go at making some – this time following the cooking method.
