Guest Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Does anyone have a recipe for playdough which does not use salt? Some of the children are unable to use the playdough during our 'dough disco' sessions because the salt causes their hands to sting if they have a small cut. x

Mmm ... yes there are - but I was hoping for something 'tried and tested'! It needs to be soft and very pliable. Some recipes are quite dry and crumbly. Mrsbat, hair conditioner and cornflour sounds wonderful - but in what proportion and what other ingredients, if any? x Edited February 25, 2014 by Guest

AnonyMouse_3735 Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 you could always make a bread dough to use.. with yeast and strong flour... we used to use one batch for a week before throwing it out... keep it in the fridge overnight.. it still rises but not too much.. we found some children prefered it as it is stretchy..
Guest Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Our children have really enjoyed the stretchy dough this week, and it's the conditioner and corn flour recipe!
