Play Dough Recipe


This recipe makes quite a large amount of dough. If you want to test it out first, or make smaller quantities so you can make a few different colours then halve the quantities.

You will need:-

  • 2 mugs of plain flour
  • 1 mug of salt
  • 2 mugs of cold water
  • 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
  • 4 teaspoons of Cream of Tartar

Optional : few drops of food colouring and/or glitter

  • Mix the flour, salt, cream of tartar (and glitter if using) together in a saucepan
  • Add the cold water, vegetable oil and food colouring gradually
  • Cook the play dough on a low heat, stirring all the time until the mixture slowly thickens into a big stretchy elastic mass that is so stiff you canŐt stir it anymore
  • Tip out the dough onto a work surface and wait few moments until it is cool enough for you to handle
  • Knead for a few minutes until you get a lovely smooth, soft and pliable dough.
  • Your homemade Play dough is now ready to use.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge and it should keep for a couple of weeks at least.
