#156 Homemade Play-Dough

Making play-dough is so easy. You just use ingredients from out of your pantry and you know it is safe & non-toxic. And you can make as much as you want. We made two different recipes, both are cook recipes.

Basic Play-dough

food coloring

2 T cooking oil

1/2 tsp. cream of tartar

Other ideas to have fun with your play-dough is to add glitter to it or add essential oils to your basic play-dough to give it a scent.

Make sure to store in an air-tight container and it will keep quite a while.
