NO-COOK PLAY DOUGH RECIPE

 

2 cups plain flour

2 tablespoons vegetable oil (baby oil and coconut oil work too)

1/2 cup salt

2 tablespoons cream of tartar

1 to 1.5 cups boiling water (adding in increments until it feels just right)

gel food colouring (optional)

few drops essential oils

Method:

Mix the flour, salt, cream of tartar and oil in a large mixing bowl

Add food colouring TO the boiling water then into the dry ingredients

Stir continuously until it becomes a sticky, combined dough

Allow it to cool down then take it out of the bowl and knead it vigorously for a couple of minutes until all of the stickiness has gone. 

* This is the most important part of the process, so keep at it until it’s the perfect consistency!*

If it remains a little sticky then add a touch more flour until just right

I don't have any dedicated play dough toys yet, but you can use kitchen utensils, sticks, rocks, plastic animal toys, whatever you have!

Go Wild with colours! Make the dough without the colouring then split into 3. Dye one red, one yellow, and one blue, then you can take little bits from each to make the full spectrum of colours!
