3) Paint Brush

3. Mary’s Marvellous Purple Playdough
- This is the cheap salt I’ve used.
- I’ve used this cup but any cup or glass will do
- Some say glitter isn’t a essential but for Mary, oh yes it is!
- Any flour can be used
- Any oil can be used - sunflower, vegetable, baby oil, whatever is in the cupboard.
- This is the food colouring I’ve used but you can use literally anything to colour the boiling water. A Teabag makes a great burnt orange colour!
- Cream of Tartar makes the Playdough long lasting, without it the Playdough starts to smell after a few days.
- Ta-dah! Our finished product! :)
