COOKED PLAYDOUGH

Cooking your homemade playdough reduces the risk of children contracting illnesses from contaminated flour. It may be a little sticky just after cooking, but it should stay soft and pliable for at least a week. Add as much or as little food colouring as you’d like to hit the right level of colour.

Yield: Makes 4 cups.
