Extended directions for Cooked Playdough Recipe

Yes, you have to cook this playdough, but it’s really very simple and if I can manage it, so can you!

Step 1:

We begin with collecting the needed ingredients. We have the flour, salt, cream of tartar, water, oil and food coloring. I’ve actually mixed the water, food coloring and oil already.

Step 2:

Mix all the ingredients together in a pan. It will hopefully look something like this.

Step 3:

Start heating the mixture on medium heat, while stiring. After 2-3 minutes the texture will start to change and it’s getting more firm. From this point we will have the finished homemade playdough in about 2 minutes.

Step 4:

When it looks like this, it’s all done. You can remove it from the pan. Remember that the playdough is still hot, so don’t burn your hands.

If your playdough is really lumpy and dry at this stage, add a bit more water. If it’s too wet, try boiling it a bit more or add more flour/salt.

Step 5:

My finished playdough looked like this. You can add more or less food coloring or maybe a different color, your choice. Good luck with this play dough recipe!
