At Nestling House, we believe in play that’s simple, meaningful, and deeply connected to the natural world. Playdough is a huge part of childhood, here is a recipe from the Happy Toddler Club about how to make a taste-safe version of a classic!
What you’ll need
1/2 cup of boiling water
1/2 cup of flour
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 cup of salt
1.5 teaspoon of canola oil
food coloring, kool-aid, or natural dyeing medium
Instructions
In a pot, mix the water and the coloring agent, then bring it to a gentle boil
While the water heats, combine the dry ingredients in a separate bowl
Once the colored water is removed from the heat, stir in the oil
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the pot, stirring continuously until the mixture comes together into a doughy ball
Let the dough cool enough to handle, then knead it until it’s smooth and no longer sticky. Lightly flouring your hands can help prevent it from sticking.
Enjoy a fun-filled activity!
