Home-Made Play Dough

My mother (Ruthlace) has had this play dough recipe for as long as I can remember. When my kids were little, we’d make it together. It really produces some good play dough, and it’s something you can make when your kids have a last minute project to do for school or when they are just in the mood to play with play dough - and you don’t want to drive to the store to buy it.

Home Made Play Dough



1 cup salt

1/2 cup corn starch

1/2 cup boiling water

Mix ingredients well and cook over low heat, stirring constantly until dough is too stiff to stir. Let cool and knead until pliable. As you knead the dough, add food coloring to make the desired color.
