Playdough recipes are so easy and a really fun play activity. This gingerbread playdough recipe is perfect for the holiday season or really any time of the year!
This is what you need to make gingerbread playdough recipe:
- 1 cup flour
- ¼ cup salt
- 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons of Ground ginger
- 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon
(This recipe will make about 2 cups of playdough.)
How to make Gingerbread Playdough:
1. Combine all the dry ingredients in a bowl.
2. In a sauce pan – combine the water and the oil. Pour in the dry ingredients and mix until it looks like cake batter. It may have some lumps. That is ok.
3. Cook over medium heat stirring constantly.
4. In just a minute or two when it has thickened, remove from heat. It should become one big “lump” or ball.
5. Allow it to cool until you can touch it.
6. Knead by hand until smooth. You may need to add in some flour if it is too sticky.
7. Continue kneading until it is to the consistency of regular play dough. All your kids to play and enjoy!

The kids will have a blast playing with this homemade playdough!
We let them play with their regular play dough toys but we also let them use our Christmas cookie cutters to cut out some fun shapes. This is so fun and really easy to make with the kids.
Try using a rolling pin. We have an inexpensive one that we use just for playdough recipes and we just keep it with the playdough.
I like to use parchment paper for easy clean up! Whether you make gingerbread men or other fun shapes, this gingerbread play dough recipe is sure to provide hours of fun!
You can also make gingerbread man playdough mats for more festive fun. If you are looking for scented playdough recipe no cook, still give this a try because it only takes a minute on the stove top.
Young children might even like to decorate the gingerbread playdough recipe with googly eyes or other fun embellishments.
Can you make gingerbread playdough recipe without cream of tartar?
You can but we find this method to be the easiest and most simple to make. Gingerbread playdough no cream of tartar tends to require more steps and more ingredients. If kids are helping to make this, it is easier to just make it with cream of tartar I think. If you like imagination tree playdough, you will like this.
How to store soft playdough recipe:
We keep in a sealed container (or in a ziplock bag). My daughter has been playing for the same batch for weeks now! It still smells great.
Just make sure to put the lid on it. 🙂 My kids often forget this step.
