Work Those Motor Skills with Homemade Playdough

his is the playdough recipe which I have been using to make for school for quite a while now. I originally found it at https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/howto/guide/playdough-recipe

What you’ll need:

1. 8 tablespoons of plain flour
2. 8 tablespoons of plain flour
3. 2 tablespoons of table salt
4. 60ml of warm water
5. 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil 
6. food colouring (optional)

Method:

1. Add the flour and salt into a large mixing bowl.
2. In a smaller mixing bowl add the warm water, oil and a few drops of food colouring.
3. Pour the wet mixture into the large mixing bowl with the flour and salt and mix with a wooden spoon until the ingredients have combined.
4. Dust your work surface with a small amount of flour and place the dough on top.
5. Knead the dough for a few minutes until smooth.
6. If your colour is not intense enough you can add more food colouring.
7. Store in a sealed container or zip-lock bag to keep it fresh. Removing the air prevents the playdough from drying out and going hard. We also recommend storing it in the fridge.
