I laughed because my middle was my playdough queen. She would spend hours playing with it, but her hard and fast rule was no mixing colors. With homemade, it doesn’t matter because it’s so inexpensive that you can just make new!

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup salt
  • 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
  • 1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 cup water
  • food coloring

Instructions
 

  • In a medium size pan add the flour, salt and cream of tartar and give a quick stir to mix together
  • Add the water and oil to the sauce pan and stir continuously while on low to medium heat until the ingredients start to pull together
  • Once the liquid is gone and the dough pulls together into a ball remove from the heat
  • Remove the dough from the pan and place on a cutting board or piece of wax paper - allow to sit just until cool enough to work with.
  • Divide the dough to color - I divided mine into four equal parts - color as you want - simply add drops of food color and work into the dough until desired color and shade are reached

Notes

  • Store in airtight containers and should stay fresh for several weeks.
  • I used Wilton coloring because that's what I had on hand, use whatever you like to color the playdough!
