Yes playdough!
I know you can’t eat this so you may wonder why I’ve put this on my food blog, but it is made in a very similar way to a lot of food recipes, and is a handy little thing to know how to make if you ever have children over to stay or have your own.
And why was I making playdough you ask? Well for Science- my science lesson at school our homework was to make playdough. Sounds like hard work going back to Uni doesn’t it? 🙂
This recipe is one given to me by the tutors at the University and worked quite well. I added glitter to some of mine, and as well as colouring also flavourings. To the green one I added peppermint and green glitter, which went down the best in my class. To the black one I also added rice- to give it a slightly different texture.

Your will need:
1/2 cup of salt

some food colouring
