Homemade Playdough Recipe

  

Ingredients:

1 Cup of plain flour
1 Cup of water
1 Tbsp of cooking oil
1 Tbsp cream of tartar
1 cup of salt
Food colouring

Method:

Place all of the ingredients in a medium size or large pan. Cook slowly on medium-high and stir it until the playdough thickens.

Notes:

• If the playdough is sticky, cook it for a little bit longer.
• The colouring is easiest to mix through if you add it to the water before the rest of the ingrediants.
• Store in an airtight container (zip lock bags are perfect) and apparently it has a longer life it its stored in the fridge.

Best Ages

18 months - 2 years.
Little Miss started enjoying playdough at around the 18 month mark. I tried Mr Little at 12 months, but he just eats it and smears it into his hair. Yuk! I'll try him again in a few months.
As for an upper limit for ages, I've seen 10 year olds happily sit an play with playdough. Do older kids enjoy this too?
