Tip 7: Clean Play Dough
Healthy Child
Tuesday, October 03, 2006
Make non-toxic play dough at home.
You’ll need 1-cup flour, 1-cup water, ½ cup salt, 1-tablespoon vegetable oil, and 2 teaspoons cream of tartar.
Mix flour, salt and oil, and slowly add the water. Cook over medium heat, stirring until dough becomes stiff. Turn out onto wax paper and let cool. Knead the dough with your hands until you reach proper consistency. Use as is, or divide into balls and add a few drops of the vegetable or fruit juices to make green, pink, and orange. Let it cool completely. Store in an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.

For a special touch I add a few drops of an essential oil like lavender for scented play dough.
