Everytime we bought clay or playdough they turn hard and dry after a few days. Also since kids like to mix colors the clay usually turn out to be just one big brown blob. Buying new ones often can put a pretty dent in the budget. So I googled if we can make our own playdough and turns out there are a lot of recipes for homemade playdough. I tweaked the recipe to suit whatever is always in our pantry. The original called for cream of tartar and glycerine. Here's the recipe:
Homemade Playdough
1 cup flour
1/2 cup table salt
1/2 cup hot water
food color
Mix everything. It's going to be quite sticky. If you find it dry you can always add a bit more water. Turn it out on a light floured surface and knead/mix until smooth. You can always add a bit more flour if mixture is too sticky or water if it's too dry.
Have fun!
