Playdough Recipe

This is an easy to follow recipe and produces a successful playdough every time. This playdough recipe contains wheat which is a great way of talking about how wheat can be found in non-food items too. Students could use the playdough in a variety of ways, including making imaginative creatures using craft materials. You could also make creatures by adding natural found items to the playdough creatures too like sticks and features.
Try adding different flavourings for students to guess the scent. These flavourings could be food flavourings like peppermint or vanilla or could be herbs and spices like lavender or cinnamon.
If kept in an air tight container in the fridge this playdough will keep for weeks.
