Make your own playdough 

 

At school we love to make playdough, it's great for fine motor skills and our imagination.  Below is a simple recipe for playdough you can make at home.  What can you make? 

You will need

• 8 tbsp plain flour
• 2 tbsp table salt
• 60ml warm water
• food colouring
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil 

Method

1. Mix the flour and salt in a large bowl. In a separate bowl mix together the water, a few drops of food colouring and the oil.

2. Pour the coloured water into the flour mix and bring together with a spoon.

3. Dust a work surface with a little flour and turn out the dough. Knead together for a few minutes to form a smooth dough. 

4. Store in a plastic sandwich bag (squeeze out the air) in the fridge to keep it fresh. 

 

We also use play dough for Dough Disco, see if everyone at home can join in.
