Playdough Recipe

Recipes for homemade Play Doh (Play Dough). Cooked, no cook and edible.

Playdough has long been a favorite with children. Fun and malleable, it opens up a world of creativity for young ones everywhere.

Playdough was created by accident back in the 1930’s. It was invented as wallpaper cleaner but, over time, it was discovered that it also made a great clay for arts and crafts projects. It was soon marketed as Play-Doh and became a rousing success.

It is not unusual for parents to turn around and find their toddlers eating Playdough during play time. After all, toddlers will put almost anything in their mouth and with Playdough being soft and colorful…and often made into treats, well, one can see how eating it might be tempting.

If you find your child eating Playdough often, the good news is that most of it is nontoxic. However, this also depends on the ingredients. Playdough that is made in the U.K. contains ingredients that can be harmful if eaten in large amounts.

And even if the Playdough your child is using is harmless, few parents will want it to be the key component in their child’s diet. Also, it can be a choking hazard.

If you find your child constantly eating Playdough, you may feel better cooking it yourself. That way you can feel confident that it will be completely safe and digestible.

This playdough recipe is the cooked version, which uses cream of tartar. It tends to be smoother than the non-cooked playdough recipe, but it is more work and takes longer due to cooking and cooling. If you scroll down, you will also find a no-cook Playdough recipe which is easier to make.

Playdough is a long time favorite kids activity. The fact that the Playdough can be edible makes your child happier – they can snack on their creations. Try experimenting with our creations so that your child can actually eat that spaghetti, or ice cream sandwich they created and you can enjoy worry free playtime for your toddler.
