How to make Playdough

What the dough should look like.This playdough recipe is easy to make, since it doesn’t need cooking. It’s child-friendly, and edible (but it doesn’t taste good). Store it in a closed container, such as a plastic bag, in a refrigerator when you’re done playing.

Things You’ll Need:

  • A large bowl.
  • 1 cup cold water.
  • 1 cup salt.
  • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil.
  • Tempera paint or food coloring. (optional)
  • 3 cups flour.
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch.

Directions:

  1. In the large bowl, mix water, salt, oil, and enough tempera paint or food coloring until you get the color you want.
  2. Gradually add flour and cornstarch until you get the consistency you want. It shouldn’t stick to your hands, and should stay together easily. Add water if it’s too dry, add flour if it’s too slimy. (A little goes a long way!)

Done.
