Found this recipe online in the comments section of this Instructables post. This play dough was not only really easy to make but also really easy for Scarlet to use!
3 cups flour
1/3 cup salt (1 1/2 cup elsewhere!)
2 tsp oil
1 cup water
7 drops food coloring (to taste)
Mix dry ingredients with oil. Add food coloring to water and mix together. Add water to flour/salt/oil mixture slowly~about 1/4 cup at a time and mix together with a spoon. Once you’ve added all the water, knead the dough with your hands.
I made a half recipe which was a good amount for a single session. The final product felt like bread dough but not nearly as sticky. It was perfect for play dough!!!
Now on to finding a recipe for salt clay (check recipe #3 here) which can be baked and preserved … as in children’s handprints and Christmas ornaments!?!
How about these edible fun doughs … Peanut Butter and Honey Edible Fundough?!?
1 c peanut butter
1 c honey
2 c powdered milk
Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Add more powdered milk if necessary to make a workable dough. Form the dough into balls and other shapes.
