Everyone has their own version of playdough. This is mine. Am I saying its the best out there? Absolutely not. It’s just the one I’ve been making for years.

No Cook Playdough
- Total Time: 5
Ingredients
Scale
- 300g flour
- 220g salt
- 250g water
- 30g oil
- Colouring added to the water (or you can colour separately by hand after its kneaded)
Instructions
- Add everything to the bowl.
- Blitz on speed 7 until just combined.
- Knead for two minutes.
- If its too dry to your liking just add a little bit of water at a time to reach your desired consistency. If its too wet for your liking add a little more flour. I find playdough texture is a very personal thing.
- Store in a container in the fridge.
- Prep Time: 5
I found this was very sticky to start with but the addition of a bit more flour (I didn’t measure the extra), a bit more kneading and letting it sit and dry out a tiny bit resulted in a lovely soft texture. My 2.5 yr old loved helping me make this and played quite a bit longer than usual with her playdough today.
Just a follow up to my first comment. After storage in the fridge the playdough just went soooo sticky it was impossible to play with. I tried in vain to fix it with flour, oil, cream of tartar, cooking in the microwave but to no avail. I just chucked it in the end 🙁
Made this play dough for my 2 year old today.
Fantastic!!! added a little extra flour and some extra kneading, pink food colouring and it was perfect!!
Thank you so much!!!!
Mine is still sticky…added a lot more flour twice over and it’s still like playing with bread dough. Would love to know why mine isn’t as nice looking as yours Peta?
I used Himalayan punk salt and coconut oil, wholemeal plain flour and tap water. Any of that seem off to you or should be right?
