The Best Homemade Play Dough

The softest, easiest way to make homemade play dough.

Mix together the flour, salt, and cream of tartar in a pot.

Then add your coconut oil and warm water.

Heat on medium to medium low while you are constantly mixing it together.

Stir until it forms into ball.

Take off of heat and place on glass plate, or wax paper until cool.

Once cool, knead together for 2 minutes.

Now you can divide into sections and add in whatever colors you would like.

Store in a ziplock bag. Will last more than a month this way.

Yield: 4 Sections

Stir together flour, salt, and cream of tartar into a pot.
Next, add warm water and coconut oil and mix.
Turn on heat to medium low, and stir continuously. The dough will thicken and slowly start lumping together and turn into a ball.
Remove from heat and then place on a glass plate or bowl. Allow to cool.
Knead until smooth, which is usually 1 to 2 minutes.
Divide into sections (can make 4 large sections)
Slightly flatten dough with your finger to add in 10 -15 drops of color. Fold dough over color and knead until it is fully mixed in.
Now you are ready to play. When you are done, store in a ziplock bag and it will last for more than a month.

Notes*

Though this dough is better than store bought, please try to discourage children and pets from eating any.
