There are others on the internet also that you can check out if you wish.

It is a good idea to check to make sure the play dough is not sticky before finishing the mixing.  When it is sticking to your hands it will not work in the classroom.

Play Dough - Cooked recipe

Playdough ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour

• 3/4 cup salt

• 4 teaspoons cream of tartar

• 2 cups lukewarm water

• 2 Tablespoons of vegetable oil 

• Food coloring, optional 

• Quart sized bags

Stir together the flour, salt and cream of tartar in a large pot. Next add the water and oil. If you’re only making one color, add in the the color now as well. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly. Continue stirring until the dough has thickened and begins to form into a ball. Remove from heat and then place inside a gallon sized bag or onto wax paper. Allow to cool slightly and then knead until smooth. If you’re adding colors after, divide the dough into balls (for how many colors you want) and then add the dough into the quart sized bags. Start with about 5 drops of color and add more to brighten it. Knead the dough, while inside the bag so it doesn’t stain your hands. Once it’s all mixed together you’re ready to PLAY.
