Play dough is one of the most powerful tools in my arsenal. Any time I really need to get something done (phone calls, computer work, a ten minute nap), I can trust that play dough will be there for me.
As long as I can clear a surface to squish on, there are an infinite number of interactive materials that can get thrown into the mix with this glorious substance. Not all recipes are created equal. I’ve ended up with some sticky (usually fixable by adding more flour and salt), some crumbly (add more water and oil). This recipe is just right. It has reliably turned out perfectly smooth, lasts seriously forever in a container, takes color beautifully, and just has a great satisfying squeeze factor.
