Children love to play with Playdoh and it is very good for developing the muscles in
their hand to prepare them for writing. Therefore, the CoOp likes to have a good
supply of Playdoh on hand in the classroom. Homemade Playdoh is the best. It is
soft and pliable. Throughout the year we ask families to volunteer to make a
batch of Playdoh for the classroom. Below please find our Playdoh recipe – enjoy!
In a good sturdy pot add the following:
2 cups of water
food coloring
mix well
Then Add:
2 cups of flour
1 cup of salt
4 tsps of cream of tartar
2 tbls of vegetable oil
Constantly mix over low heat until mixture forms a ball. Don’t cook too long or it
will not be soft. Remove and cool. Knead before placing in zip-lock bag.
