I am looking for a playdough recipe that I used to make for children and must make for my grandson! I have seen several different types of recipes but the one I am thinking of you do not have to cook, but I remember I had to add dish soap!

By Suzanne S. I have a recipe for play dough that I have made for years. I tried a Kool-Aid recipe (may not have been this exact recipe) and it was way too sticky, and ended up throwing it out. Here is the recipe that I find most successful for my grandchildren:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Play Dough (Non-Koolaid)
1/2 cup salt
1 cup flour
2 tablespoons cream of tartar
Mix salt, flour and cream of tartar. Add water, oil and food coloring. Cook till the mixture is thick and the right consistency. I store in Ziploc bags.
Hint: Let the children get in on the act by measuring, etc. They enjoy it.

Here's the recipe I use. I don't think it's the one you had in mind, but it's highly recommended.
Combine 1 1/2 c. flour, 3/4 c. salt, 1 1/2 c water, 1 Tb cream of tartar, 2 tsp vegetable oil, and 1 packet unsweeted kool-aid powder. Stir together and cook over low heat for about 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until it begins solidifying. Once it has started clumping up, remove from heat and allow to cool. Now play!! Store in a sealed container.
I have used this recipe with preschoolers for years and it always comes out great and the kids love it. I make it up at the start of the school year and we use it all year. We store it in gallon zip lock bags.
I love this recipe. If anyone knows how to make the playdough black from the kool-aid e-mail me lani_taylor AT hotmail.com
THANKS :)
