Create your own play dough at home with this quick and easy recipe. Perfect for creative playtime!
Combine the flour, salt, and cream of tartar in a microwave-safe bowl.
Ensure the dry ingredients are evenly mixed for a consistent dough.
Add the warm water, vegetable oil, and desired food coloring to the dry mixture.
Stir gently to avoid splashing the liquid ingredients.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly until a smooth consistency is achieved.
Use a spoon to scrape the sides of the bowl for even mixing.
Microwave the mixture on high for 3 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds.
Stirring frequently prevents the dough from overcooking in spots.
Allow the dough to cool slightly, then knead it until smooth.
Kneading while warm makes the dough more pliable.
Store the play dough in an airtight container when not in use.
Ensure the container is sealed tightly to maintain softness.
