Easy No Bake Play Dough

I have made this play dough at home and at school. It’s a great DIY recipe for school because most classrooms do not have a kitchen and this recipe does not require cooking on the stovetop like many play dough recipes do. It’s also great at home because toddlers will inevitably have to taste their play dough. With this homemade recipe you know your little one is not eating any harmful chemicals.
This recipe makes a lot of play dough. If you’re making it at home I suggest making the cut down recipe below.

Full recipe:
1 cup cold water
1 cup salt
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
Food coloring
2 cups flour
2 Tablespoon cornstarch

Mix water, salt, oil, and coloring of your choice. Mix flour and cornstarch in separate bowl. Add dry mixture a ½ cup at a time to wet mixture stirring continually. Knead for a minute.
Dough is ready to play with!
Store in zip lock bag or air tight container.

At home I cut down the recipe and make more than one batch in different colors.
¼ cup cold water

¼ cup salt

½ teaspoon vegetable oil

Food coloring

½ cup flour

½ Tablespoon cornstarch
