When it comes to keeping kids entertained, few things beat the squishy, moldable fun of playdough. But if you’ve ever bought store-bought playdough, you know the frustration of finding it dried up and crumbly just a few days later. That’s why we’re sharing a fail-proof homemade playdough recipe that promises hours of play without the worry of it drying up.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup of salt
- 2 tablespoons of cream of tartar
- 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
- Food coloring of your choice
- 1 1/2 cups of boiling water
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and cream of tartar until well combined.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the vegetable oil and food coloring.
- Carefully pour the boiling water into the bowl and stir everything together with a wooden spoon until a dough starts to form.
- Once the dough is cool enough to handle, transfer it to a clean surface and knead it for a few minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Your homemade playdough is now ready for action! Let your kids’ imaginations run wild as they mold, shape, and sculpt to their heart’s content.
