This is my favorite Homemade Playdough Recipe to go with the Preschool Playdough Mats & Activities shared earlier this week. Unlike some store-bought brands, it is smooth and stays moist for a long time if stored properly! Plus, you probably already have most of the ingredients in your kitchen cabinets. Enjoy!
Homemade Playdough
- 2 cups Flour
- 2 cups Water
- 1 Cup Salt
- 2 tablespoons Oil
- 2 tablespoons Cream of Tartar (found in the spices section)
- 1/4 teaspoons Food Coloring
Heat about 3 minutes on High. Stir continuously. After it gets thick and forms into a ball, pour onto some wax paper. Let the dough cool slightly. Knead until smooth. Store in a plastic bag, inside an air-tight container.
*If you want to add a little sparkle to playdough time, add a little glitter during the cooking process–Instant “Princess Playdough”
And because I love you…

Hi Sara, thanks so much for sharing this with the Play Academy. I agree that homemade playdough beats shop bought – we like to add food essences to ours to bring in some aroma play. Hope you’ll stop by the Play Academy this week too. Cathy
