The Perfect Playdough Recipe

I’ve been searching for the best recipe for play dough and I’ve finally found it! I won an amazing giveaway from the Artful Parent and I received Jean Van’t Hul’s book. There it was: the best recipe so far.

I used a bit more flour than it says there, but I think it depends on the food colouring.

What you’ll need:

• 2 ½ cups of flour
• 1 cup of salt
• 2 tbsp of cream of tartar
• 2 tbsp of oil
• Food colouring (I bought Wilton Icing Colors from Amazon)
• 2 cups of boiling water

Mix the dry ingredients, then add some oil and food colouring. Pour the water and knead. Let it cool first, so the kneading process is easier. That’s it! Our kids love playing with their new dough. We’ll be making more next week.
