Cooked Playdough Recipes

Children love playing with playdough and this cooked playdough recipe is great for creating and using one's imagination.
Children develop their physical and cognitive skills when being creative with playdough. Learning how to interact with others while exploring and modelling the playdough will also develop social development.
Great for children aged 2 years+. You can have the children help make this cooked playdough.

So try out this Cooked Playdough Recipe for your children:

WHAT YOU WILL NEED
1 Cup plain flour
1 Cup water
1 Tblsp cooking oil
Food Colouring
1/2 Cup cooking salt
1 Tblsp cream of tartar

HOW TO MAKE
Place all dry ingredients into a saucepan, add water and mix with wooden spoon over medium heat. When mixture has thickened let it cool down, then add cooking oil and knead it well on a floured board until combined thoroughly.
Now you can divide the cooked playdough into different bowls and add a different food colouring to each. Knead in the colour until mixed through the playdough.
