Description

A delightful and engaging craft that combines simple ingredients to create a soft, squishy dough for hours of sensory play.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup salt
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 tablespoon cream of tartar
  • Food coloring (optional)
  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk or spoon
  • Airtight container for storage

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and cream of tartar. Whisk together until evenly mixed to avoid clumps.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix the vegetable oil and water. If using food coloring, add a few drops to the wet mixture.
  3. Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients while stirring. Mix until a soft dough forms.
  4. Transfer the mixture into a non-stick saucepan over medium heat and stir continuously for about 3-5 minutes until it pulls away from the sides.
  5. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly, then knead until smooth and pliable.
  6. Store in an airtight container to keep fresh for several weeks.

Notes

Experiment with different food colors, add textures like glitter or beads, and try gluten-free flour options.
