Has anyone ever made playdough?

[devotchka]

How easy is it to make? Anyone have a recipe? 

I saw this on pinterest and was thinking of making some. I know there are more "hippy" versions but those natural food dyes are expensive...

I used to as a child! It must have been pretty easy if my mom agreed to it, lol.

I think creamsiclechica makes some for Bella.

I did when I was of babysitting age but I forget how. I know I used kool-aid to color it because it was an awful idea. It made the play dough smell delicious so I kept wanting to eat it.

I made some with jello recently. It was my friends recipe. It was fairly easy. I have a book I saved from my childhood with all sorts of recipes for play dough and the like. Maybe I should dig it out and actually flip through it again.

I do and fyi: you can use white vinegar instead of cream of tartar when using the cook top version!

I've made the cooked version with food coloring instead of Kool-aid. It works really well.

I've made it many times over the years. This is the basic recipe I follow. Cream of tarter is key.

1 cup flour
1/2 cup salt
1 cup water
1 Tablespoon oil
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
Food coloring by drops

Directions:

1. Combine all ingredients in a pan and stir. Cook over low heat, stirring until a ball forms. Very important to stir while cooking should take less than 3 mins

2. Add food coloring and mix thoroughly until desired color. I add the coloring with other ingredients Easier to get a consistent color

3. Cool on foil. Store in covered container.
