Does anyone have a recipe for play dough that doesn't contain salt?

Question

I heard most homemade play dough can be toxic if swallow because of the high salt content.

Answer 1

Mister Rogers' Easy Play Dough
2 cups flour
1 cup water

Peanut Butter Dough
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1/4 cup honey
1 cup instant nonfat dry milk*

try that website, it has more options, but contain anywhere from 1 to 3 cups of salt

Answer 2

Most homemade playdough recipes call for salt- and while it can be toxic because of the high salt content- your child would have to eat at least half of the mixture to even feel sick. So, with proper adult supervision, this should not be a problem. Non- cooked koolaid playdough is the easiest to make:
2 cups flour
1 cup salt
1 tablespoon cream of tartar
3 tablespoons of vegetable oil
2 packets of koolaid
2 cups boiling water

Boil water, mix all dry ingredients in a large bowl, add vegetable oil, then pour in hot water. Knead with your hands until it forms a large glob and firms to a consistency of playdough. You can add small amounts of flour if needed to reduce stickiness as you knead.

Kids love koolaid playdough because it gives bright colors and has a yummy smell. All kids inevitably taste playdough- that is a learning method. Most realize the salty taste and don't bother again, but if your child has sensory issues that may cause them to seek out extreme tastes- keep a close eye on them.

Answer 3

mixing flour, water, and salt is the only way I know how to make play dough, but to make a sort of silly putty, mix equal parts liquid clothing starch with white school glue, it's VERY messy at first but if you work it in a bowl for a while it will become more solid and less sticky. I'm not sure how toxic it is, though.

Answer 4

hi,

yes, the salt is important because it makes the dough dry during the baking period. Maybe you could just put sugar into the dough instead of salt. I didn't try that myself so I don't know exactly if it's working out.

Good luck,
