Create your own vibrant and soft play dough at home with this simple recipe.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and cream of tartar.
Ensure the dry ingredients are thoroughly mixed to avoid lumps in the dough.
In a saucepan, mix the warm water, vegetable oil, and food coloring.
Use a whisk to blend the liquids evenly for a consistent color.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the saucepan, stirring continuously over medium heat.
Stir constantly to prevent the mixture from sticking to the pan.
Continue stirring until the mixture forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
If the dough is too sticky, cook for an additional minute or two.
Transfer the dough to a bowl and let it cool.
Cover the bowl with a damp cloth to prevent the dough from drying out while cooling.
Knead the cooled dough until smooth and pliable.
Kneading helps to improve the texture and consistency of the play dough.
Store the play dough in an airtight container for future use.
Label the container with the date to keep track of freshness.
