Homemade Playdough

Try this easy to make and soft homemade playdough that will last for months.

You will need:

  • 1-1,5 cup of all-purpose flour
  • 0,3 cup of salt
  • 1 teaspoon of cream of tartar (find it in desserts or in the spice section of your supermarket)
  • 0,5 cup of warm water
  • 0,5 tablespoon of vegetable oil (coconut oil will work)
  • food coloring (optional)

How to do it:

  1. Whisk together flour, salt and creme of tartar in a nonstick bowl.
  2. Add to the mixture water, vegetable oil and food coloring. Use a spoon and then your hands to further mix everything until all flour incorporated and the colour is uniform.
  3. If the playdough is still sticky add a bit more flour a tiny bit at a time, until the consistency is perfect.

Add to your playdough a few drops of child-friendly essential oil (lavandar, camomile, tee tree) for aromatherapy.
