DIY Playdough (No Cook)

 This easy DIY Playdough is easy to make and fun for kids to play with afterwards. With this recipe you can make any color you would like or even mix colors to make a special color.

HOW TO MAKE NO-COOK DIY PLAYDOUGH:

I created this recipe to make small batches so it would be easy and quick to make several colors. Each batch makes about one cup of play dough.

SUPPLIES:

• flour
• salt
• cooking oil
• food coloring
• large mixing bowl
• measuring cups and spoons
• aluminum foil, parchment paper or wax paper
• wooden spoon for stirring

Directions:

Start by combining the flour and salt in a medium bowl. Slowly stir in the oil, warm water, and about 2-3 drops of food coloring until the mixture is well combined.

Transfer the dough to a flat surface and let it sit for a few minutes. It may feel a bit sticky, but whatever you do, DO NOT add more flour! As the dough sits, the salt will absorb the extra moisture.

Let the dough sit for about 5-7 minutes, before kneading. If your dough is sticky after sitting, add an additional 2 tablespoons of flour at a time until it is the perfect consistency.

HOW TO STORE YOUR DIY PLAYDOUGH:

 Store in a zip-lock bag or airtight container, and place in the refrigerator. If you notice the playdough getting a bit dry, you can add a few drops of water and knead that into the dough.
