Playing with playdough is undoubtedly one of the most enjoyable ways to spend time at home with our children and support their creativity. However, store-bought playdoughs may not always be as soft or colorful as we'd like. Don't worry, because making your own playdough at home is quite easy and fun!
The playdough you'll make at home will surely be even better than the ones you buy ready-made.
**Ingredients:**
- 1 cup of flour
- 1 cup of water
- 1 teaspoon of food coloring (optional)
- 1.5 tablespoons of cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup of salt
**Instructions:**
1. In a saucepan, mix the salt and flour. Then add the cream of tartar and mix well.
2. Add the vegetable oil and, if desired, food coloring. Slowly add the water while continuing to mix.
3. Start cooking over low heat, stirring constantly. The mixture will begin to thicken and clump together quickly.
4. Once clumping begins, remove from heat and continue to stir to give your dough an elastic texture. At this point, you'll see that the cream of tartar gives the dough resilience.
5. You can add food coloring to dye the playdough to your desired color. If you want to make playdough in different colors, use the same measurements for each color.
6. You can store the playdough in a sealed bag or jar for a long time. This way, it will stay soft and ready to use for weeks.
Making homemade playdough is a great way to ensure your children have fun and engage in creative play. Plus, by controlling the ingredients, you'll have a safer playdough. Give it a try and help your children have a great time!
