I own a child care center and this is the play dough recipe we use it is very easy and last a while. We double it.

1 cup of flour
1 cup of water
2 tsp. cream of tartar
1/2 cup salt
1 tablespoon oil

Place in a microwave safe bowl and mix together.
Place in microwave on high for 3 minutes. Stop after each minute to stir.

Let cool a bit it will be hot.

You may add food coloring or liquid water colors or an extract for color/scent after it has been made. We have even added cinnamon for scent.

Have fun

Sounds like an easy recipe. I will try it. Thanks!

Thanks, will pass this along to a friend that teaches kindergarden.

Thank you

I used to make this for my sons and their friends when they got bored They thought I was a cool mom!

Thanks for sharing this with us.

Corn starch and water is another fun mix with kids. Looks wet but doesn't splatter when punched. But will pour like a thick liquid.

Thank you, sounds like a good rainy day project!
