Cooked Playdough Recipe
Last term when Brandon attended the Lollipop Pre-school, I was given the Cooked Playdough recipe. This is an easy recipe but I have not try it out yet. Just thought that I will put it up on my blog to share with my readers who might be interested to make their own playdough.
Cooked Playdough
1 cup of flour
1 cup water
1 tbs oil
1/2 cup of salt
1 tsp cream of tartar
food coloring
Cook over medium heat until mixture pulls away from sides of pan and becomes like playdough in consistency. Knead until cool. Keeps 3 months unrefridgerated.
Kool-Aid Playdough
2 small packages of unsweetened Kool-Aid*
2 1/2 to 3 1/2 cups of flour
1/2 cup of salt
1 1/2 tbs cream of tartar
2 cups boiling water
2 tbs oil
several drops food coloring
Mix Kool-Aid, flour, salt, cream of tartar in a metal or glass bowl. In a separate bowl combine boiling water, oil and food coloring. Pour water mixture into flour mixture and blend. Knead until smoth and store in a Ziploc bag or Typperware container. Refridgeration is not necessary, but will help it to keep longer.
*Different flavors of Kool-Aid will make different colors and different smelling playdough. Ex: Lemonade makes yellow playdough etc.
You can replace the cooking with the play dough for just stirring in boiling water, the same as the koolaid playdough.
Adding spices can also add some interesting smells to playdough.
