Sister Griffith's Playdough Recipe


This is the best recipe ever for Homemade playdough. I got it from Sister Griffiths when I worked in the Nursery with her before Dean and I even had kids. I have made it for Steph's preschool, for Emma's kindergarten teacher and for Nursery. It keeps forever without having to go in the fridge too. I usually quadruple the recipe for a batch.


1 Cup Water

1/2 Cup Salt

2 Tbsp Cream of Tartar

2 Tbsp Oil

1 Cup Flour

Food Coloring -the color of your choice- just add drops until desired color is reached


Cook together in a large pot over medium heat. Be sure to stir constantly until it pulls away from the sides and forms a ball. Remove from heat and then from pot so it may cool, otherwise it continues to cook and gets a little crunchy. Once cool, have fun!! -Amy

Thanks for this great recipe! I am always looking for it. I think there is one similar to it in the "Concoction" book. I also love the picture you posted with it. I never thought of storing playdough in canning bottles... Such a great idea!
