Making your own playdough at home is a delightful and straightforward activity that requires no cooking whatsoever. All you need are some basic ingredients that you probably already have in your kitchen. Start with one cup of plain flour, half a cup of salt, and two tablespoons of cream of tartar. In a large mixing bowl, combine these dry ingredients well.

Next, add one tablespoon of vegetable oil and a cup of water. To enhance the fun, you can mix in a few drops of food colouring of your choice. Stir everything together until it forms a dough. If the mixture appears too sticky, simply add a bit more flour until you achieve the perfect consistency.

Once the dough is ready, knead it on a clean surface for a couple of minutes. The result is a wonderfully soft playdough that's perfect for endless hours of imaginative play. Best of all, it’s quick to make, and you can easily whip up a fresh batch whenever the mood strikes! Remember to store it in an airtight container to keep it fresh for your next session of creativity. Happy playing!
