How to store your easy homemade playdough:

Personally I love these food storage containers. Sure they are originally for food, but they are the perfect size for homemade playdough and they are air right.

Plus they are plastic and can easily be opened making them perfect for kids to use. Forget buying playdough at the store when you can easily make it at home!

Not only will you save money but have so much fun making these fun playdough recipes with your kids. Let the kids help make the playdough and then everyone can play with it together. So fun!

How do you make the best playdough?

If you have been hesitant to make playdough at home in fear of it being difficult or not as good as store bought, now is the time to give it a try! It really is so easy to make playdough and only requires a few minutes and a couple of ingredients.

There are lots of options and they are all very simple to make.

What type of ingredients for homemade playdough do you need?

A common ingredient for homemade playdough is cream of tartar. Other ingredients include a cup of flour, ⅓ cup of salt, oil and more!

It is also a great idea to have wax paper on hand to easily roll the playdough out and keep your counters clean. This really makes for easy clean up.

Some recipes call for boiling water and essential oils are always a fun option. Or you can add the food coloring to the playdough if you prefer.

I like to add only a few drops of food coloring so it does not get too messy. Kids love to knead the dough and create their very own favorite playdough recipe.

Each of these recipes are different and the ingredients vary. So if you do not have something on hand for one recipe, I bet you do for one of the others.

It is so simple and much more fun than just purchasing store bought. You are going to love selecting and trying a new homemade playdough recipe with your kids.

My kids love to help and continue stirring and making the playdough come together. It is such a great recipe and literally comes together in minutes regardless of which one you choose.

Can you make playdough without cream of tartar?

While most recipes for playdough call for cream of tartar, there are several that do not. If you don’t have this ingredient on hand, it is ok!

You can still make playdough with the recipes below that do not call for it.
