I came to the realization yesterday: it's been 2 years since I last bought the Madore-ables any play-doh since finding a great home made recipe on Pinterest.
It's also been 2 years since I made my last batch. The girls used it so much that it dried itself out.
The recipe is very simple (not too mention very inexpensive):
1 cup flour 2 tsp cream of tarter
1/2 cup salt 2 Tbsp baby oil
1 cup water (optional) food coloring
(1) Mix the above ingredients (minus water) in a medium sauce pan.
(2) Add desired food coloring to the water in the saucepan.
(3) Stir ingredients over medium heat until dough forms into a thick ball and no longer sticks to the pan.
(4) Knead dough on a countertop...but be very careful! The dough will be hot!!!
We store our cooled play-doh in Zip-loc bags.
You can substitute veg oil instead of baby oil, but I learned that veg oil turns rancid where baby oil does not. (An added bonus: baby oil smells fantastic and softens your hands in the meantime).
