I am currently working with a group of 2 year olds and we were playing with play dough. The parents could not believe I made my own. I told them that I always make my own - the consistency is better, the smell is better, it lasts longer and it is cheaper. I got out my recipe to share with them and decided to post it here.
1 cup flour
1 cup water
1/2 cup salt
2 teaspoons of cream of tater
1 tablespoon of oil
food coloring
Mix all ingredients in a pan. Add at least 20 drops of food coloring. Cool over low heat until thickened, stirring constantly. Cool. Turn dough out on the counter and knead.
This dough lasts for a week or 2 as long as it is kept in tightly sealed plastic bag. It will last longer if kept in the refrigerator.
