Sparkley DIY Playdough (stovetop)

| Once you make your own playdough, you’ll never go back to PlayDoh! Here’s our stovetop version. |
 |
| Stovetop Playdough Recipe Mix these ingredients in a pot or pan over medium heat: 1 cup flour 1 cup water 1/2 cup salt 2 teaspoons cream of tarter 1 tablespoon cooking oil 5-10 drops of kiddo’s desired food coloring |
 |
| Buying PlayDoh means we’d miss out on all this great kitchen play together! |
 |
| DIY playdough is not a new concept. I just never considered making it because I didn’t know how easy it was. His teacher taught us how to make it at a parent group meeting… took just 5 minutes! |
 |
| It calls for 2 teaspoons. Instead of a full teaspoon, I give him a 1/4 teaspoon so he can scoop it out 8 times. The kid LOVES to scoop! |
 |
| He likes to level it with his finger rather than a straight edge. |
 |
| Stir the ingredients over medium heat until it forms into dough. |
 |
| Place on foil. Then knead it with your hands. In about a minute, its cool enough for kiddo to play with. |
 |
| Flatten it out, sprinkle some glitter, then knead it some more. |
 |
| Store in ziploc bags or airtight containers. DIY playdough is super easy to make and the ingredients are super common. This is the cooked/stovetop version. We also plan to try a no-cook recipe. You can even add various scents to make it smell yummy like chocolate, vanilla, lavendar, etc. Check out THIS no-cook recipe made with Kool-Aid by Momma’s Fun World. |
