Simple Homemade Playdough

Hello! Did you have a wonderful holiday weekend? We did. We went to a festive morning get-together at our neighbors, then spent the afternoon at my Aunt's farm where she has horses and baby chicks… it makes me want to have my own little chicken coop here. Not sure I can talk the husband into that one. J

ANYWAY… here's my absolute favorite homemade playdough recipe. It is super simple! Bonus: The kids can help too and since it's fairly fast to make, there are no long attention spans required.

You Need: 3 cups of boiling water, 2 cups salt, food coloring, 5 tablespoons vegetable oil, 2 heaping tablespoons of cream of tartar and four cups of flour. *Note: You can also use Kosher salt

Have your helper measure a little more than 3 cups of water and bring to a boil. (You need 3 cups for the recipe).

Your helper can measure the other ingredients too

Combine the salt, food coloring, vegetable oil and cream of tartar and add the boiling water.

Mix the first 5 ingredients and slowly add flour. Stir and knead until consistency of soft dough is reached. Dough should not be sticky or crumbly.

 
Yes we colored our playdough soft pink! It's my playdough partner's fav color.

It's the simple things that are the most fun. Linking up!
