PlayDough!


Not exactly something you'd serve for tea, but one of my most-used recipes!



3 C. cold water
1 1/2 C. salt
1/4 C. oil
3 C. flour
2 T. cream of tartar
1 T. vanilla
food coloring and (if you really want it to smell yummy) a couple of packets of Kool-Aid

Place liquid ingredients in a large pan. Quickly add dry ingredients. Heat on low. Stir constantly until dough pulls away from sides of pan. Cool. Add food coloring.

You're good to go! Store in a tightly sealed container or baggie.

    Margaret, thank you for this! I need to make homemade for my youngest who's intolerant of Play-Do. These cold rainy days, this will be just the ticket. Blessings!

    I forgot to tell you, we tried this recipe and we loved it! We made purple, pink (the girls) and blue for Nicholas. I have a really good recipe, but this one smells so good from the vanilla!! I take it out now almost every night around 5pm! Thanks!
