Jelly Play Dough Recipe

Jelly Play Dough Recipe is an easy play dough to make and by adding some jelly crystals to a basic play dough recipe creates a smooth, soft and creamy textured play dough.

Depending on what flavour jelly you add to this recipe will depend on the colour and scent of the play dough.  For this recipe I added Passion fruit flavour which created a beautiful fruity tropical scented yellow play dough.

What you will need?

1 cup plain flour

1 tbsp oil

1 cup warm water

½ cup salt

2 tsp cream of tartar

1 85g Packet Jelly Crystals (Jello)

Method

1. Pour all dry ingredients, flour, salt and cream of tartar together in a saucepan.
2. Add 85g packet to warm water and stir until mostly dissolved.
3. Add jelly water and oil to dry ingredients.
4. I use a whisk before heating as I find this helps remove lumps and blends the ingredients well.
5. Cook over medium heat constantly stirring until it becomes a thick blob.
6. Then turn out onto a clean surface and knead into a smooth ball. Be careful the play dough will be very hot!  Use a little bit of flour if the play dough is sticky.
7. Store in a plastic zip lock bag or air tight container.
