We are always making our own play dough at Funzone and the children love it! 
its not difficult to make yourself...... We thought you may like this recipe and have a go at making some at home. 
The beneifits of using play dough are numerous  and the play possibilities are endless! so have fun  and give it a go.  A great stress buster for adults too!

You need:
  • 2 cups plain flour (all purpose)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup salt
  • 2 tablespoons cream of tartar
  • Up to 1.5 cups boiling water (adding in increments until it feels just right)
  • food colouring (optional
  • Mix the flour, salt, cream of tartar and oil in a large mixing bowl
  • Add food colouring TO the boiling water then into the dry ingredients (colour optional)
  • Stir continuously until it becomes a sticky, combined dough
  • Add the glycerine (optional)
  • Allow it to cool down then take it out of the bowl and knead it vigorously for a couple of minutes until all of the stickiness has gone. * This is the most important part of the process, so keep at it until it’s the perfect consistency!*
  • (If it remains a little sticky then add a touch more flour until just right)
  • You can store this play dough in an air tight container for at least 6 months.
