I had a bit of a fail making this today! I read it wrong and left out half the salt… it took a long time to knead and it didn’t turn out great. Not elastic enough.

Anyone tried it and had success?

Great! This is quite costly to buy.

Am going to get some food colouring tomorrow and going to try this, I think my kids will love that mum makes it, they feel more special then when I buy things like this.

I have bookmarked this! I’ll have to try it when my lo is old enough

That sounds great, thank you so much, will give this a go!

I’ll be definitely making my own playdough for my LO to save a fortune on the store bough ones! Thanks.

If any of your family or friends who are likely to play with it, if they have Coelic Disease or wheat intolerance use gluten free flour instead. Some children have a habit of putting their fingers in their mouth. That’s all it takes to make some extremely ill, so much so that they can become dehydrated and need hospital treatment.

Used to do this all the time when my kids were younger. Very easy and saves a small fortune too.

Yes, we love and use this recipe too all the time. The only thing is that all the colours are mixed with 1x playing in our home 🙂 and gone are the beautiful fresh colours !

I love this recipe a of use all the time, only difference is I use gluten free flour which then means you need a little less water. I also add some Cream of Tartar to mine but don’t know that it is necessary.

I love this. So very easy and looks great. Thank you

I used to love making play dough when I was a kid. I am super impressed at the vibrancy of these colours!

  The colours are gorgeous – the trick is keeping the colours separate when playing!

Love the gorgeous colours – hours of fun with play dough.

Adore homemade play dough! Still love the cooked version for smell and warmth when just cooked. This looks great too, and so easy.

My daughter lives play dough and will spend hours occupied with it. I never new it was so easy to make. I’m definetly going to give this a go.
