All you need are a few pantry staples to make this simple DIY play-dough at home!
Today I would love to share the homemade play-dough recipe my mom always made for me as a kid. It’s quick, easy & really reliable. Charlotte loved poking, squishing & rolling out my nostalgic creation—the smell brought my right back to 1st grade!
HOMEMADE PLAY-DOUGH
Makes: 1 ball
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons cream of tartar cup applesauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
Food coloring (optional)
1. Put all of the ingredients in a medium saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it forms into a smooth ball, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat; let sit 5 minutes.
2. Knead the dough a few times until smooth. Let cool before passing it off to your little one.
