- Mix water, oil and food colouring together. Add glitter and scent if using.
- Add water mixture to flour mixture. Mix well and heat on stove over medium high heat.

- Play.
Haha! nice work
Loved the video, who doesn’t like playdoh! This is definitely the best play-doh recipe I’ve ever done, it doesn’t stick to your hands and make them goopey!
I had to turn on my computer to watch this one, which hasn’t been happening much lately! I rarely seem to have 5 minutes to myself these days
Yes, I know how no time alone goes. I was going to give you a heads up that I was posting it today but then thought it would be a fun surprise.
Awesome. This post could not have come at a better time, I was just went to the store 2 days ago and purchased cream of tartar and planning on making play dough this weekend. What dye do you recommend, because I love the colours you have on your video.
Lianne has the neon food colours, I highly recommend them. They made really vibrant play dough.
Love it! I think I’ll just make brown. We’re color mixers over here, save the kids the hassle of the mixing.
Or just make 1 colour. That’s simpler.
Just wanted to check back in to say I successfully made 2 batches (one blue and one red, figured if they mixed we would have purple). This was so quick and easy, I am kinda annoyed that I haven’t done this sooner. Thanks for the tips and the video. We are now busy and happy playing!
Awesome!
