I use natural, organic ingredients for our playdough. Your skin is our biggest organ and I feel it’s important especially for children.
You will find ways to easily color your playdough, instructions for making your playdough, non-toxic playdough toys, and a printable recipe at the end.

I use organic food-based powders because it is easy (who doesn’t like easy!?) and shelf-stable. I’ve tried boiling down fruits and vegetables but it generally takes longer than I want to spend. Powders are so simple! You literally add it to your water and mix.
I most often use organic beetroot powder to color our playdough. It’s a pretty pink color. Other options are organic: turmeric (be aware of what turmeric powder you buy, many are higher in lead), spinach and spirulina.
For natural food coloring, I prefer India Tree. You can mix colors to create more than red, yellow and blue (red & yellow = orange, red & blue = purple, and yellow & blue = green)
A printable version of these instructions is available below!

Store playdough in an airtight container in the refrigerator and it will last months. I use mason jars.
*Due to the high salt content make sure this stays away from your pets. It can make them very sick if they eat it.
Playdough toys don’t need to be complex but I do have a few favorites non-toxic favorites to share with you!
I use a glass cutting board when my kids play with playdough. It makes for a very easy cleanup.
I hope you enjoy making playdough at home with your kids! Have fun experimenting with different color options too!
