Connie’s Uncooked Play Dough Recipe
2 cups of plain flour
4 tablespoons of cream of tartar
2 tablespoons of cooking oil
1 cup of salt
2 cups of boiling water
food colouring
Just pop it all in a mixing bowl and mix!
It looks as though it is not going to mix well at first but hang in there and if necessary throw it onto the bench to knead, and it will come together nicely.
You can add different things such as glitter and sand for a different look and/or texture. But don’t add things like rice as they go mouldy – glitter is really good.
For fluoro colours try using poster paint as the colouring.
Make two lots of playdough of different colours and roll together like a ribbon sandwich and give each child a thick slice to play with.
Add a few drops of scented oil like lavender or rose. In winter when there are lots of sniffles around add Tea Tree Oil or Eucalyptus Oil. Or add peppermint oil for a great smell and even longer lasting playdough…
