Make your own Play Doh™

Kids, you will need your parents permission and help with this project

       

You’ll need:

1/2 cup salt
1/2 cup hot water
1/4 cup cold water
1/2 cup cornstarch.

In a pan, mix salt and hot water and bring to a boil. Stir cold water into cornstarch in a small bowl. Add cornstarch mixture to boiling water. Stir vigorously to break up lumps. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is like stiff pie dough. Remove from heat and turn out onto a breadboard to cool. As soon as mixture is cool enough to handle, knead until smooth and pliable. Grainy texture, good for rolling out and cutting into shapes to make ornaments, jewelry or whatever you can think of. Dries and hardens in 1-2 days or bake at 200F for an hour. Paint with enamel paints. Will keep a long time wrapped in foil or plastic without refrigeration.

All though this recipe is edible, it is not recommended that you eat the Play Doh™.  It doesn't taste very good.
