Playdough is essentially flour and water with a bit of an oil and a salt in it (add color and/or scent if you'd like). There are lots of recipes. Here are some sites that will get you started.

Answer 4

The secret ingredient here is cream of tartar. This recipe makes play dough that is not grainy like uncooked play dough and keeps for a long time.

Play Dough Recipe 1
4 cups flour
1 cup salt
4 cups water
4 tablespoons oil
1/2 cup cream of tartar
Mix all ingredients in a sauce pan. Cook and stir over low/medium heat until play dough is completely formed and no longer sticky. Allow to cool slightly before storing in an air tight container or zip lock bag.

orThe following recipe is a big batch recipe. It is intended to be enough for a party or group of kids and makes about ten cups of play dough—the equivalent of twelve commercial Play Doh ® containers. If you want a smaller batch, divide the recipe in half. If you are having a really big party and want more play dough, make two batches--this recipe is about all that can be made in a stand-type mixer at one time. You can also make this play dough by hand.

If you want multiple colors, divide the dough and knead in the food coloring after the dough is made. If one color is sufficient, add the food coloring with the water and save the step of kneading in the coloring.

7-8 cups all-purpose or bread flour
3 cups salt
3 tablespoons cream of tartar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
4 cups hot water
food coloring

Mix seven cups of flour together with the salt and cream of tartar in the bowl of your stand-type mixer. Add the oil and water and knead with a dough hook in your electric stand-type mixer for five to six minutes. (If you are kneading by hand, knead for eight to ten minutes.) Add more flour to get a soft, workable dough.

Store the dough in a sealed container to keep it from becoming dry. If it becomes too dry, place it back in the mixer bowl and knead in a dribble of water
oIngredients
4 cups of plain flour
4 cups of water
2 cups salt
4 tbsp of cooking oil
Food coloring (optional), Kool-Aid, or Jello powder/jelly crystals (use different flavors for different colors and aromas)
1 tblsp. cream of tartar (optional) for each cup of flour (this stops the dough cracking and makes it stretchable)

just remember, all these doughs does go bad eventually, and start to smell
i like using food coloring for the coloring, but sometimes it does stain.

Answer 5

If I remember this correctly its equal amts of flour and salt plus a little cream of tartar to keep it soft with enough water for the right consistancy. Darn it! now I have to make some! I dont remember cooking it, also ask a head start or kindergarten teacher.
