Best Ever Play Dough

Uncooked Play Dough

2 cups of plain flour
4 tbs of cream of tartar
2 tbs of cooking oil
1 cup of salt
2 cups of boiling water
food colouring - gel works the best, liquid is ok but can make dough a little more sticky but it works out.

  • just pop it all in a mixing bowl and mix!
  • it looks as though it is not going to mix well at first but hang in there and throw it onto the bench and knead, and it will come together really nicely.
  • can put in glitter and sand
  • add peppermint oil for a great smell and even longer lasting playdough
