If you are like me, you've gone to your Play Dough box and realised that the last person to play with the play dough, left the lid off and it's all dried out. 

But do not fear, you can make Play Dough and the best bit about this, is if it is eaten its not the end of the world and probably after eating this they will never eat it again! 

The recipe is...

1 cup of free running salt

2 cups of plain flour

1 tablespoon of vegetable oil

2 cups of boiling water straight from the kettle (This part must be done by an adult)

Edible Glitter - optional

Food Colouring - again optional

Cream of tar tar - you don't need this, but it will last longer if you do put it in! 

Method

Put everything in a bowl and mix it together till it makes a dough. It might be hot for a little while after the water has gone in, so keep checking before you give it to the kids.
