Playdough Recipe

playdough-activity-things-to-doPlaydough is the ultimate in fun for Brisbane Kids. Brilliant for fine motor skills and for fun of all sorts from pretend cooking through to making a zoo full of playdough animals.

Make some playdough-

recipe- Salt 1 1/2 cups

Flour 3 cups

water 3 cups

cream of tartar 6tbsp

vege oil 3 tbsp

food colour a couple of drops- cook on a medium heat stirring til it all comes together and becomes difficult to move- take of the heat, then knead like pastry 3-4 times- store in air tight container (in the fridge if it is summer)

After the playdough is made you can set up a ‘kitchen’.. help your Brisbane Kid make some spaghetti or some cupcakes. Playdough fun is only limited by your imagination!

    Hi Ngaire, Just wondered if you need to add the food colouring during the cooking process, or if you can add/knead it in after it’s cooked? Thanks!
