Homemade soft play dough with glycerin
Handmade Farmhouse
- 1 1/4 Cups All purpose flour
- 1/4 Cup Table salt
- 1 Tablespoon Cream of tartar
- 1 Tablespoon Vegetable Oil
- 1 Teaspoon Glycerin
- 3/4 Cup Boiling water
- Wilton Neon Food Coloring gels
- Fine Glitter optional
Add all of the ingredients except the boiling water and coloring to a medium bowl. Whisk well. Boil water and add a few drops of coloring. Add to ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon or spatula. Mixture will seem soft and sticky. Mix all ingredients until very smooth and then allow to cool on the counter top. I have found that the play dough will be too sticky to knead until it has cooled. The play dough should be super soft and pliable but not too sticky for a child to play with. Add a little extra flour as you knead, if needed. Form your play dough into balls and roll the top in glitter (optional). I like to wrap my play dough in plastic wrap if I am giving the kit as a gift. Pull the wrap tightly to the back. It just looks pretty!The kits are not airtight so the play dough needs to be stored in a zip lock bag. This play dough can last up to 6 months!
