I LOVE this playdough recipe. Easy, natural and fun. I added two cups of water and found it was too much to the 1 cup of flour, so I had to add more flour. Also, I tried it in the bread machine but then switched to my mixer with the dough attachment and it was better. Have fun!!

re: green food coloring and mint... i use chlorophyll mint instead of green food coloring in baking and frostings.

also use it to color Dr. Bronner's liquid castile soap (peppermint, of course).. we use as hand soap(bathrooms) and dish soap (kitchen)... just add ONE drop to the golden liquid ... beautiful green (non-toxic) liquid soap!

one little bottle of chlorophyll is so concentrated, i bet it lasts me the rest of my life!

i'd definitely use it in this play dough recipe... with beet powder for red... turmeric powder for yellow... to mix a rainbow of non-toxic colors for fun!

thanks sooo much for this recipe... and all the adjustments people have made before i found it! thanks! -- S :D

Just whipped up a batch for a Dr.Seuss party. Added a bit of mint extract to the green and it smells fab! Also used an extra half cup of water. Will do more soon!

I use this recipe for my classroom all the time. We have great fun. It lasts a long time in a ziploc bag as well.

This is amazing!!! I have tried all sorts of playdough recipies and they all end up being sticky:( you try to add more flour and it turns into mash potato but this recipe is perfect it does stick to you even if you plung your fingers in!!! Thanks a million!!!

Loved it, made it for my kids, and easy to get rid of, they just ate it right up!

I made this with my boys they loved it. We added Glitter to ours for an extra fun effect :)

If you add warm water the consistency is much smoother.

Excellent recipe! As others suggested it needed more water, needed only 1/2 cup of salt and used my KitchenAid to mix it all. I did not experiment with any scent because I wanted to discourage little kids from putting it in their mouth! (as it is they like the salt)

I added less salt and used multi coloured sprinkles for the colouring.

Wow! This helped a lot. I am going to make this again

Woooot Woooot! This is great! My 7 yr old and I made this today and we also used Kool-Aid to make it smell good! We also added some food coloring for brighter colors. She loves it!

I put in cinnamon, ginger and allspice to make it smell like a gingerbread man!

Love it! easy and no tartar needed!

This recipe is great - only I needed to use 2 cups of water instead of 1.
