Ingredients for Cooked Play Dough:

1/2 cup salt
1 cup water
1 cup flour
2 tbs cream of tartar
1 tablespoon oil
3 drops food coloring

How to Make Cooked Play Doh

Mix all ingredients together in a medium-sized saucepan, stir over low/medium heat until dough is the right consistency. Allow to cool before storing in a plastic bag.

Tips for Making Cooked Play Doh

  • When allowing the dough to cool, you can lay it out on wax paper.
  • When storing in a plastic bag or airtight container, you can also put it in the fridge.
  • If you notice the next time you use it, or if you let it dry out, add a little water and knead.

    Kids really enjoy homeschooling with play dough. Its interesting to know the recipe to make a play dough. Instead of using the play dough available outside, we can make a good one using the simple kitchen items. Great work!!
