This week in Wacky Science, we made homemade play dough! Using household ingredients, you can make your very own customized play dough at home! I used purple food coloring, glitter, and peppermint oil to make my play dough unique. Here is the recipe we used:
1 cup Flour
1/2 cup Salt
1 TBSP Cream of Tartar
1 TBSP Oil
1/2 cup Water
Food Coloring
-In a bowl, mix together dry ingredients (flour, salt, cream of tartar)
-In a separate bowl, mix water and oil with food coloring
-Pour water, oil, and food coloring into a pot and heat on the stove
-Slowly stir in flour mixture
-A doughy ball should start to form
-Let dough cool
-Play with the dough!
If dough is too sticky, add more salt.
For fun, add glitter, sequins, sand or scented oil such as peppermint oil.
Look online for more recipes, some are even edible!
