Answers: i need a simple playdo recipe fast!! and one that doenst involve tartar or corn starch! thanks!!

1 c. water
3 c. flour
1 1/2 c. salt
Food coloring

This is the one I use ...just combine and knead ....I have found that if you want it colored it is less messy to simply add the food coloring to the water....also if you want a less Gritty dough you can cut back on the salt a bit....or dissolve the salt in the water.......Dough art has been around for quite sometime .the salt was added back in the old days to keep rodents from eating it.

This is not play-dough but more like a silly putty - mix LIQUID starch (laundry product) and elmer's school glue in 1/3 ratio - it is fun and gooey - kids just love it!

Fun You Can Make at Home
These playdoughs are for children aged 2 years or older and require adult supervision at all times.

a. Playdough

4 cups flour
1/4 cup powdered tempera
1/4 cup salt
1 1/2 cups water
1 tablespoon oil

Mix together flour, powdered paint and salt. Mix water and oil, and food coloring if desired. Gradually stir the water and oil mix into the flour mix. Knead the mix as you add the liquid. Add more water if too stiff, more flour if sticky.

b.Alum Playdough

2 cups flour
1 cup salt
2 tablespoon alum
1 cup water
2 tablespoon oil
liquid food coloring

Pour dry ingredients into large pan. Stir together to mix. Stir oil and food coloring into the water. Pour liquid into the dry ingredients while mixing, squeezing and kneading the dough. If too sticky, add more flour. Keeps best in the fridge.

1 cup flour
1 cup water
1 tablespoon oil
1 tablespoon powdered alum
1/2 cup salt
2 tablespoon vanilla

d. Oatmeal Playdough

1 cup flour
2 cups oatmeal
1 cup water

Gradually add water to flour and oatmeal in bowl. Knead until mixed (this dough is sticky, but unique in texture.) Model as with clay.


e. Nutty Butter Playdough
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup powdered milk

f. Kool-Aid Play Dough

2 1/2 to 3 cups flour
2 cups boiling water with 1 package Kool-aid (any flavor)
3 tablespoons corn oil

I just left out the cream of tartar when I made this and it worked great.
