Play Dough

Some parents attending our Baby Boogie sessions have asked us for the recipe for the playdough we use.

  • 2 1/2 C flour
  • 1/2 C salt
  • 1 T cream of tartar
  • 3 T vegetable oil
  • 2 packages unsweetened drink mix
  • 2 C water
  1. Put water on to boil
  2. Mix flour, salt, and cream of tartar in a large bowl. Plastic is best.
  3. Once water is boiling turn off heat and add oil and drink mix to water.
  4. Pour water into dry ingredients and, using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, mix until stuck together. It will still be lumpy. 
  5. Sprinkle a little flour onto countertop and scoop out about 1/3 of the dough. If it is sticky sprinkle a little flour on top of it then knead several times until smooth. BE CAREFUL because the dough will still be very hot. Repeat with the remaining play dough until it is smooth.
