playdough help?

Question

I would like to mae some playdough today for my son but all the recipes on the internet i have found require cream of tartar. Is there anything i can replace it with or do u know any recipes without it as i cant make it to the shop today.

Answer 1

I make it this way for my kids... i don't know the measurements but all you need is flour, water and salt. The course pickling salt works best but normal salt will work. Basically start with about one third the amount of salt as flour, then add water until it doesn't stick to your hands and well just feels right. Then you can add food coloring to add color, don't have food coloring then koolaid works well to and it makes it smell good. It is easy and stores well as long as it is air tight, the only thing is if you make something and you want to let it harden it tends to crack and not dry very well. good luck

Answer 2

Go to michaels craft store we sell playdough in a little tube for $1

Answer 3

If he wants to eat it when he is done, I remember making a play-doh that tasted like raw Gingerbread cookie dough when I was a child. Unfortunately I do not know the recipe. Perhaps combine the play-dough recipes you found with a real gingerbread recipe.
