I recently found a recipe for play doh that you do not need to cook and it appealed immediately. The recipe was found here. I made a blue version for Ollie and he and Daddy enjoyed playing with it, although I am not sure who enjoyed themselves more.
I mean, just look at that snow (ahem I mean play doh) man!
The play doh in the top picture was made for my nephew Matty’s second birthday along with some rainbow crayons I made previously and a few other things.
Here is the recipe if you would like to try it;
No-Cook Playdoh
- 1/2 cup of salt
- 1 cup of plain flour
- 1 tablespoon of Cream of Tartar
- 1 tablespoon of sunflower oil
- I cup of boiling water (from the kettle) mixed with;
- some food colouring
Put all the dry ingredients in a bowl (or food processor) and then mix vigorously with the hot water.
Makes wonderful playdough which lasts for ages in little plastic sandwich bags. I put mine in the fridge and it has lasted a few weeks already.

Of course when I was small it was Plasticize that I wanted to play with which was impossible to remove from the carpet and always ended up a dingy grey once the different colours had been all rolled up together.
I wish I had an excuse to make up some Play doh…………..
