No Bake Playdough Recipe
http://www.pbs.org/parents/crafts-for-kids/no-bake-play-dough/
Materials:
large mixing bowl
1 cup water
4 cups flour
2 to 4 tablespoons of cooking oil (we used Canola)
1 1/2 cups of salt
food coloring (we used red and blue to make purple)
glitter
Instructions:
1. Pour water into a large mixing bowl.
2. Next add food coloring. We added generous amounts of red and blue food coloring to make
purple, which seemed like a galactic color! Once you add the food coloring to the water, stir well.
3. Add the dry ingredients ( flour and salt) to the mix. You can stir a little at this point to begin
blending the ingredients.
4. Next add 2 to 4 tablespoons of oil. You can add more oil later if the mix seems to dry. Oil is
the secret to keeping this "no cooking required" recipe soft! If you don't add enough oil, the mix
will be very crumbly.
5. This next step is a big hit with kids! Add generous amounts of glitter to your mix and begin
mixing everything together.
To store, simply roll the dough into small balls and keep in plastic bags or a plastic container!
