Child Development: Toddler: Cooked Play Dough Recipe

COOKED PLAY DOUGH

1 c. flour 1/2 c. salt 2 tsp. cream of tartar 1 package of unsweetened Kool Aid powder (optional) 1 c. water 2 tbsp. oil Combine 1 cup flour, 1/2 cup salt, 2 teaspoons cream of tartar and Kool Aid powder, if desired, in a large saucepan. Gradually stir in 1 cup water mixed with 2 tablespoons oil. Cook over medium to high heat, stirring constantly until a ball forms. Remove from heat, cool and knead until smooth. Store in an airtight container.

In this video, the demonstrator starts with the liquid first, 

but I prefer to begin with the dry ingredients and 

add the wet ingredients into them as in the recipe above. 

She also uses liquid food coloring which is an option to add color to the play dough.
