Easy Homemade Playdough

all-purpose flour

Remove the dough onto wax paper or a plate to cool.

Thank you for the recipe. Very easy to make, I made 3 different colours yesterday with my little ones (they are 4 and 17 months) and they loved helping preparing and playing with it. The only thing that I would do differently would be making only one colour at a time because after 10 minutes of them playing it all became one thing 😂

This is really the best play dough recipe I've ever tried. It's the perfect texture and truly lasts ages. I've made it for my preschool students several times and it's their favorite toy in the classroom! Thank you!

Tried to 1/2 the recipe so I could make more colors but playdoh all stuck in the pot so I’d have to wash the pot in between batches. Was not easy to wash and not easy with my 2.5 yo trying to help. I like the idea of mixing the color in with the water but I will forever more be just making one color or micing the color in after the fact. Maybe you use a non-stick pot? I don’t own those....

Perfect recipe, thank you so much for sharing! My 13 year old special needs son is actually enjoying finally being able to play with Play-Doh. The store-bought play dough is always too hard and he gets frustrated.

I LOVE this recipe, have made it a few times now and its the best ever!

thanks a lot for sharing. this was much needed. very easy recipe.

I first found this recipe at least 7 years ago and made it as a gift for my niece - so easy and budget friendly. Then I’ve made it off and on over the years but haven’t made it in at least a year maybe two and I forgot how EASY it was. Literally all ingredients you would have in the cabinet (well maybe not cream of tartar but I did this time 😂) Just whipped up a double batch for my 2 &amp; 4 year old and now they are playing quietly so I can get stuff done. So THANK YOU!

Awesome recipe! Just made it and it was so easy and turned out great. Tried another recipe from somewhere else first and had to toss that one. Thank you!

Initially it turned out great!! But I have made two separate batches following the exact instructions and both stink to high heaven after a day in a zip bag both at room temp and in the refrigerator. I really want to make this work! It seems like no one else in the comments has had this problem. Does anyone have suggestions???

This is exactly what I need for my son. You are very kind to add every little detail information.
I'll subscribe to get more ideas!

homemade but in terms of appearance as with those sold in food stores,

I really like this creativity, very inspiring

Made it tonight and it’s great!  Excited to have the kids play with it.  Wondering…do you feel like this is “low mess”, enough that you’d let kids have it on a road trip??  😅  With a tray, feel like it would be a hit.

Worked perfectly from the first try! 
I'm the person which never gets the recipe rights from the the first attempt! And yet, here it is, perfect play dough with slight lavender aroma which I added for extra sensitive experience :) It's a bit softer than the original play doh but works just as well. I'm sure it's going to be a huge budget saver for us :) Thank for the recipe!

I made this today for my toddler, but forgot salt 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ I almost threw it away, but when it cooled off, I was able to throw in a little bit of flour and the salt, and it turned out fine.  My toddler is loving it as I type.  Probably not as great as the original recipe, but I’m glad I didn’t just throw it away.
