Play / Modelling Dough


Ingredients


1 tbsp cooking oil


1 cup plain flour


陆 cup salt


1 cup water


2 tsps cream of tartar


1 tsp food colouring of choice





Method


1. Chuck all ingredients into a saucepan and mix well over a low heat.





2. Take out of the pan JUST before it looks ready - i.e. it鈥檒l look slightly too moist (as it dries out a bit while you鈥檙e waiting for it to cool).





3. Give it a good kneed through. Will take about 10 minutes before it鈥檚 cool enough to play with.





And there you go, really quick and easy - you get about double the size of a normal commercial pot, so plenty to share.





I鈥檓 not sure how long it will last - probably not as long as the stuff you get in a tub, but it should last a while if you keep it wrapped in clingfilm or in some sort of airtight container to keep the moisture in.





Best of all, the bits that get ground into the carpet crumble when dry, so it鈥檚 really easy to remove when your toddler treads it through the rest
When my kids were little, there was one with flour, oil,





water and baby powder - but I don't know how much of





each - LOL.

Playdough Recipe #1





1 c Flour


1/2 c Salt


1 c Water


2 tsp. Cream of Tartar


1 tsp. Salad Oil


Food Coloring


Mix together all ingredients and cook for 3 minutes over low heat. Stir well. Add food coloring. Store in a plastic container. Kids love it and it is easier to clean up.





Playdough Recipe #2





1 cup flour


1/2 cup salt


3 tbsp oil


1 package of Koolaid (for color and scent)


1/2 cup of water


This is a great recipe, keep it in the fridge and if it gets too sticky after a while you just add a bit of flour to it! Keep it in an air tight container.





Playdough Recipe #3





1 C. Flour


1/2 C. Salt


2 Tbsps cream of tarter


2 Tsp cooking oil


1 C. water with food coloring


Combine ingredients and put on warm heat in saucepan. Heat till thickens, remove and knead.





Playdough Recipe #4





We used to make this recipe as kids at my grandmother's house. It can be used over and over and lasts for weeks. A child just learning to model will appreciate how soft and cooperative it feels in her hands, especially when it's warm.





Play Clay





1 cup all-purpose flour


1 cup water


1/2 cup salt


1 teaspoon vegetable oil


1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar


Food coloring (for vibrant colors, use cake decorating paste)


Mix the flour, water, salt, oil and cream of tartar in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat until it holds together (keep mixing or it will stick to the bottom of the pan). When the clay is cool enough to touch, knead it on a floured surface and add the food coloring. Store in an airtight container such as a Ziploc baggie or old sour cream container.





Play Dough Recipe #5


Here is a fun craft for kids of all ages, including the big ones. You can make modeling dough in less than 15 minutes! The dough can be used for sculptures, magnets, making letters and numbers and imprinting hand prints. the possibilities are unlimited.





Here's what you need:





1/2 cup of salt


1 cup of flour,white or unbleached


1/2 cup of boiling water


food coloring (optional)


clear nail polish or vanish (optional)


spoon


bowl


wax paper


1 1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil


Before you start:





Make a place to work protect the table with a big sheet of paper.


Read all the instructions


Get everything you need to do the project.


Think about the project. Imagine how it will look and what you will do with it.


Here's what you do





Combine flour and salt in a mixing bowl.


Add vegetable oil and boiling water.Stir with spoon until well blended and dough comes away from the sides of the bowl. When it is cool enough to handle, knead the dough with your hands until it is smooth. This should only take a minute or two.


If you want colors other than white, separate the dough into two or three balls. Flatten the ball and make a well in the center. Add 2 or more drops of food coloring to the well


- 2 drops for a pastel color, more for deeper colors.Knead the dough until the color is even.


Store your finished modeling dough in an airtight bag or container. It will keep for weeks if stored in the refrigerator. Be sure to let it warm to room temperature before using.


Pinch off as much dough as you need to make your shape and leave the rest in the sealed container. Work the dough into any desired shape with your hands or just about any kitchen utensil. Making the letters of the alphabet can help your preschooler learn the letters along with numbers too. The more colorful, the more your little one will want to use them!


When you have finished molding your shape, put it on a piece of wax paper to dry. It should dry overnight to a hard finish. Pieces may be left plain or can be painted to add durability and color. Small pieces can be painted with nail polish, while you will want to use varnish or an acrylic sealer like Mod Podge for larger pieces

Ideas from you





Rough Surface Playdough


From: Honey4TheBears


I have a qeustion that maybe you can help me with. My daughter makes some dough ornaments with a recipe that I wll enclose in this e-mail. My question is if you know of a recipe in which when the ornaments are dried the texture of the surface will be evenly smooth.





This recipe she uses is supposed to be very smooth, at least when she is making them and it is wet it is, but once dried it gets very rough to the touch and kind of uneven. She waits until they dry and then she paints them and once the paint is really dry she gives them a glaze, they come out cute, but I would like to find out why the finished product is so uneven and rough to the touch. Once you apply the glaze it wont be rough but you can see that the dough was not smooth.





Here's the recipe:





Cornstarch Clay





1 cup cornstarch


2 cups salt


1 1/3 cups cold water


Put salt and 2/3 cup water into a pan and bring to a boil. Mix the cornstarch with 2/3 cup water and stir well.


Add this mixture to the first and knead into a clay. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. While working with a project it is a good idea to pinch off only as much as you need and keep the rest in a closed bag because it tends to dry out fast.


Air dry your finished piece, checking it periodically. The thicker the piece the longer it will take to dry. You may paint your piece once it's dry.

For the festive season I add glitter to make the playdough sparkle.

Don't forget to cook your dough!


From: Jane


The playdough recipes were great, but for us amateurs you might want to mention that you have to cook it. All the other recipes say to cook it but that one doesn't so I assumed that you didn't need to and boy was I wrong. thanx jane


p.s. this is a great site





My favorite recipe


From: Susie


My favorite recipe for modeling clay is: 2 slices soft white bread, crusts removed, torn into small pieces and 2 Tablespoons of white school glue. Drizzle the glue over the bread, mix with a fork until you have to get your hands in there and knead. As you roll it in your hands, the glue and bread will mix and everything will start to stick to itself and come off your hands. We added acrylic craft paints, a drop or two at a time, to color the clay. But, this can be painted after it has dried, usually a day or 2. This project has been used by Brownie and Junior Girl Scouts with much success and enjoyment. (Mostly for jewelry and beads.)





Peppermint extract for a nice scent


From: DMurphfam


Hi! I love the playdough recipe, as did my 3 children. As I was kneading the finished product I added a couple drops of Peppermint extract for a nice scent!

Silly Putty


This week's Craft of the Week came from Tanya. This fun and versatile playdough has been around for decades and now you too can make it right in your own home. Store the Silly Putty in an air tight container, plastic bag, or plastic Easter egg (just like the original putty). The mixture will look like putty after it is kneaded, in fact, the more you knead the better the consistency will be.
Try this.
