Recipe Play Dough! Easy, Simple And Surprisingly Great Learning Fun!"

Recipe Play Dough

It's a great aid to playfully improve your child's fine motor skills. Stated differently, it's great to boost hand muscles and finger & hand skills.

What's more, is easy and cheap to make and a simple, yet very effective learning aid. You'd be crazy to not give it a try.

I found it great for kids 2-10 years old.

    Edible Play Dough Recipe

  • 2 cups flour (~500ml)
  • 1 cup salt (~250ml)
  • 3 tablespoons cooking oil (~50ml)
  • 3 tablespoons cream of tartar (~50ml)
  • 1 teaspoon food coloring (~5ml)
  • 2 cups boiling water (~500ml)

    • Play Dough Instructions

    Mix flour, salt, oil and coloring in a bowl.

    Add boiling water.

    Mix very well until lumps are formed.

    Cool down.

    Knead play dough until smooth (~10min).

    Store in air tight containers. I've found it'll last up to 6 months when stored in a cool place. But don't freeze!
