Miss A loves playdough but I can’t stand paying for the little pots as she only treads it in the carpet and it was getting expensive so I have made my own. I used plain flour, salt, oil, water and food colouring. I also put some vanilla essence in the mixture to make it smell nice. I had all of these ingredients in the cupboard so it cost me nothing extra. The only thing I have to get next is different colours of food colouring.
I got the recipe for the playdough from Morrison’s M Savers event leaflet.
The recipe is:
250g plain flour
50g salt
140ml water
1 – 2 tablespoons of cooking oil
You can add food colouring and flavouring to the mix to make it more appealing!
So here is my first attempt at playdough.
Playdough!
I am so pleased it worked as it would save me a fortune. I still will buy the real thing as I would like to get some of the kits for Miss A when she is older, but for now I shall make my own!
Clever you!

I keep meaning to have a go of this, but I never seem to get round to it. I’m definitely going to have a go as I get so downhearted when I buy brand new pots of Play Doh for Sausage and find them left open and completely hard, and I won’t mind so much if it’s home made cheap stuff!

My sister-in-law is brilliant at making playdoh, and puts colours and smell in it too! The kids love her more than me…

I’ve tried to make chocolate play doh before but it using American measurements which got me confused.My 7 year old is the worse for getting in all over the floor more than my 4 year old funnily enough.
