Playdough
We have created two methods for making your own play dough - the traditional stove-top method and now our NEW microwave method.
Directions
Step 1
COOKING ON STOVE TOP: Mix all the ingredients in a saucepan and stir continuously over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, until the mixture congeals and is not sticky. Cool slightly, remove from pan and knead until smooth.
Step 2
COOKING IN MICROWAVE: Mix all ingredients well in a microwave-safe, large bowl. Microwave for 2 minutes. Carefully remove and stir well. Microwave for 1 minute and 30 seconds. Carefully remove and stir well. Microwave for 1 minute. Carefully remove and stir well. Microwave for 30 seconds. Mixture should be congealed and not sticky. Allow to cool slightly, then knead until smooth.
