I borrowed a play dough set from my local toy library and they had a recipe in the set for play dough. I had used a different recipe when I made it before, but this one is much better.
3 cups plain flour
1 cup salt
2 tablespoons cream of tartar
1 tablespoon oil
2-3 cups boiling water
Colouring
Mix dry ingredients together. Mix wet ingredients in a jug. Add wet ingredients to dry, mix well. Best consistency achieved when mix is on the dry side and kneaded whilst hot. I found it worked really well by kneading it on a floured surface until it is the right consistency and doesn't stick to your hands anymore.
Brendon is getting hours of fun out of it and it has been educational as well. Today he asked me what happens when you mix red and green together, so he had a go at doing that.
