Landa wants a playdough recipe for the kids here. So if anyone has a trusted one they have used in school, please send it along.

  1. Here's one. Don't know if you have all the ingredients, but I'm guessing you can modify them.

    Basic Playdough
    2 ½ cups flour
    ½ cup salt
    1 tablespoon alum
    3 tablespoons cooking oil
    1 ½ cups HOT water
    food coloring (optional)

    Combine oil, water, and food coloring. Combine dry ingredients.
    Pour liquid into dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly. Knead. Stores
    well in airtight container.

  2. Here's another recipe, if you have the ability to cook it.


    Cooked Playdough
    2 cups flour
    1 cup salt
    2 cups water
    2 tablespoons cooking oil
    4 teaspoons cream of tartar
    food coloring (optional)

    Mix the flour, salt, and cream of tartar together. Add the water, oil, and food coloring (if desired). Cook the mixture over low to medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes. Keep stirring until the mixture forms a solid ball. Cool. Items made can be baked at low heat for 20 to 25 minutes, depending on their thickness. Stores well in airtight container.
