Water and Peppermint Oil
Play Doh
This is possibly the easiest play dough recipe ever. It takes about 5 minutes to make and best of all there is no cooking. Just throw all the ingredients in a bowl and mix. Simple as that. It’s great for making with kids and will last for ages. You can add glitter to the mix for added sparkle and even some peppermint oil to make it smell great. You will need:
1 cups plain flour
1/2 cup of salt
2 tablespoons of cream of tartar (optional)
1 tablespoons of cooking oil
Food colouring
Glitter (optional)
Peppermint oil (optional)
1 cups of boiling water
1 child or more if you have them
Method:
Put all the ingredients in a large bowl and mix. As soon as it starts to bond together and is hard to mix, take it out of the bowl throw it on a board and knead until it takes on the look and consistency of play dough. It will be hot when you take it out of the bowl so be careful.
This recipe is great if you’re planning on making a couple of batches in different colours but if your just making one batch you can quite happily double the amounts.
Don’t worry if you have no cream of tartar it makes the play dough more elastic but you can still make this play dough recipe without cream of tartar. Also I have found that while liquid food colourings work fine, Gel food colouring produces a brighter more vivid colour.

Total Play Doh cost: £4.51
It appears cheaper to purchase Play-Doh although you could possibly make more Play-Doh with these materials. It may also be a fun activity to make the Play-Doh.
