Gingerbread Playdough

By Angel Strauch December 16, 2019

Are you  looking for something to do to keep those Kiddos entertained during these cold and snowy days???  Why not make Playdough ?? Since you probably have ALL of the ingredients right in your pantry and it's super easy and will be hours worth of fun :) 

Our Recipe We Use

1 Cup of Flour

½ Cup of Salt 

1 Tablespoon of Cream of Tartar 

1 Tablespoon of Vegetable Oil

A sprinkle cinnamon, nutmeg, and ground cloves not too much maybe a tablespoon of each .. You can use ginger as well but my kids are allergic to Ginger so we leave that out  :) 

1 Cup of Water 


I like to put all the ingredients into a small bowl that way it's easier for my kids to pour into the bigger bowl. But you want to mix ALL of the ingredients in a large bowl. Once Incorporated you can stick in a saucepan on medium heat and heat up till it forms together (not long maybe 5 mins or so) .. I then flip out on my counter and let it cool for a few and start kneading it . WAHHHLA we keep ours in a storage container like the ones you store food in ..There is a shelf life but it doesn’t last long because as you probably know kids like to throw, drop, forget to put away so it gets hard and then heads to the garbage but I would say maybe 2 or 3 weeks.
