This edible play dough recipe allows for safe, creative sculpting with family and friends.
Ingredients
Play Dough Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup salt
- 2 tablespoons cream of tartar
- 2 cups water
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Food coloring (optional) For coloring the dough.
- Flavor extracts (e.g. vanilla, almond) For scent (optional).
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large saucepan, combine the flour, salt, and cream of tartar. Stir together until mixed well.
- Pour in the water and vegetable oil. If using, add a few drops of food coloring and flavor extracts. Stir until combined.
Cooking
- Place the saucepan over medium heat. Continuously stir the mixture as it thickens; it will start to pull away from the sides of the pan.
- Once the mixture forms a ball, remove it from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Once cool enough to handle, knead the dough on a flat surface until smooth and elastic.
Sculpting
- Shape and mold the dough into desired sculptures. Feel the soft and pliable texture as you work on your designs.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for later use. Adjust food coloring for different shades or mix colors for vibrant hues.
