It is non-toxic. The following recipe is a big batch recipe. If you are having a party and want even more playdough, make two batches — about all that can be made in a stand-type mixer at one time. You can also make this playdough by hand. If you want multiple colors, divide the dough and knead in the food coloring after the dough is made. If one color is sufficient, add the food coloring with the water and save the step of kneading in the coloring.
To keep the food coloring from staining your hands, you may wish to wear gloves for the kneading. Store the dough in a sealed container to keep it from becoming dry. If it becomes too dry, place it back in the mixer bowl and knead in a dribble of water. When your child makes some particularly memorable figures or sculptures that he or she would like to keep, bake them in a degree oven until they harden.
Baking times will vary depending on the size of the objects baked, from 20 to 30 minutes. In time they will dry completely and be as hard as a rock. Roll out dough and cut into desired shapes. Bake at degrees F degrees C for 1 hour. Once cool paint with colors, if desired.
The problem with play dough is that it tends to shrink and crack when dry. It will dry in about two or three days in a warm dry place depending on how thick it is according to my research on the net.
Dough that has merely begun to dry on the exterior and is still soft and malleable on the inside can be worked back into shape with just a few drops of water. Simply knead the water into the dough until it has returned to its normal state.
How do you harden playdough without cracking it? Set your oven to degrees Fahrenheit, and let it preheat for several minutes. Set the play dough carefully in the middle of the foil covered baking sheet. Yes, you can bake play-doh, but there is a risk it will crack.
Be sure to bake it on low heat about Fahrenheit and check it every 5 to 10 minutes to help prevent risk of cracking. Flatter pieces tend to bake better. This opens up so many doors as to what you and your child can make and create at home with only a few basic tools.
There are some precautions you need to take to ensure that the play-doh bakes well and that it does not crack. Below is all you need to know about baking play-doh, and how to preserve your masterpieces and create fun projects at home.
If left for a few minutes too long, the play-doh can burn or crack, and if left in the oven for too short a time, it will not harden properly. Place the play-doh items onto a lined baking sheet and place this into the oven. You do not need to do much to the baking sheet, just lay down some baking paper to ensure that you can easily remove the play-doh from the pan.
They will look and feel dry when they are ready, but remember to let them cool before you touch them.
The size and thickness of the play-doh creation will determine how long it needs to bake in the oven, so you will just need to check it as it goes. It is best to put similar sized items on a tray together, so you can check one and remove them all at once, rather than checking each one. As an adult baking play-doh alone, it is safe if you follow the right safety precautions, such as using oven gloves to remove the baking sheet from the oven and using a toothpick to check if the play-doh creation is dry and hard instead of using your finger and being burned.
However, when using the oven to bake play-doh with kids, you need to be sure that they understand the oven gets hot, and that they need to ask you for help when dealing with the oven. Store-bought play-doh is perfectly fine to be baked, but you can also make homemade play-doh which can be baked as well.
To make your own play-doh at home , you can mix 2 cups of salt, 2 cups of warm water, and around 5 cups of flour. You can add in some food coloring to create your own custom colors! Play-doh is not a high-quality clay when it comes to baking and hardening, so there is always a chance that it will crack or break when baked in the oven.
Because of this, you do need to bake the play-doh on low heat and check on it every few minutes to ensure it does not burn or crack. It is best to bake flatter pieces of play-doh, as these have a lesser chance of cracking and breaking.
Bigger, thicker pieces are more difficult to bake in the oven and keep from cracking. Start off by baking smaller, flatter pieces of play-doh first to see how you go, and then work towards larger pieces. If you want to make a larger project or are planning to make something permanent, it is better to use bake-safe clays bought from craft stores.
