HowTo Make Play Dough At Home!

 

what you'll need:

• Medium-size pot or saucepan
• Wooden spoon
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup salt
• 4 teaspoons cream of tartar
• 2 cups water
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• Zip-top bags
• Food coloring
• Cookie cutters
  
• rolling pins
   

  Once you've prepped your supplies, it's time to get cooking.
  

  • Add the flour, salt and cream of tartar to a medium sauce pan Use your wooden spoon to mix the items together.
  • Next, add the water and vegetable oil, stirring to combine all ingredients. Then, turn
    the heat to medium.
  • Stir constantly until the mixture forms a solid lump of dough (this should take about 2 minutes; the consistency will be similar to refrigerated sugar cookie dough). Remove from the heat.

  

   

  It's time to start adding color.

  • Separate your divided dough sections into baggies, depending on how many colors you want.
  • Add food coloring (this will take more than a few drops) to each baggie.
  • Squish the dough around inside to incorporate all the color.

  Tip: Don't be afraid to mix up some colors. It's a great way to teach young kids about colors as well as add vibrant shades for your creations.

   

  

  Want to make fun shapes? Break out the rolling pin and cookie cutters.

  • Remove the dough from the bag and place it on the counter or surface of your choice.
  • Using your rolling pin, smooth out the dough before using your cookie cutters to create fun shapes.
