Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups of flour and 1 cup of salt. Stir until well mixed.
-
Add Water: Pour in 1 cup of water gradually while stirring the mixture. Continue mixing until a dough-like consistency forms.

Optional: Add Food Coloring: If desired, divide the dough into 4 equal portions and add a few drops of food coloring to each portion. Knead the dough until the desired color is achieved. This step is perfect for adding a pop of vibrant color to your playdough!
-
Knead Till Smooth: Once the dough is divided and colored (if using), knead each portion individually until smooth and pliable. This will help distribute the color evenly and make the dough easy to work with.
-
Shape into Balls: Take each portion of dough and roll it between your hands to form smooth balls. You should end up with 4 colorful playdough balls ready for creative fun!

Play Time: Let your imagination run wild! Sculpt, shape, and create with your homemade playdough. It’s a fantastic sensory activity for both kids and adults, providing endless hours of entertainment.
👩🍳 Chef’s Tips:
- Store your homemade playdough in an airtight container to keep it fresh for future use. It can last for several weeks if properly stored.
- To prevent sticking, you can lightly dust your work surface with flour while kneading the dough.
- Experiment with different food coloring combinations to create a rainbow of playdough colors. Let your creativity shine!
- If the playdough starts to dry out over time, you can revive it by kneading in a small amount of water until it reaches the desired consistency again.
Enjoy the magical world of playdough making and let your imagination take flight! 🌈✨
