Hiya, this is the basic cooked version .. I've not got the Microwave one to hand at the mo .. hopefully someone can post it here..

Basic playdough recipe

2 mugs of flour
1 mug salt
2 tablespoons Oil
2teaspoons cream of tartar
1 ½ mugs wate
1 Tsp food colouring
Moisturising hand cream - helps counteract the effect of salt on skin, improves consistency & also helps lengthen storage time.

Place all the ingredients into a saucepan and mix together.
Cook over a medium heat until the mixture forms a dough and begins to leave the sides of the pan.
Turn out onto a surface and once cooled a little knead until smooth.
Add a scoop of hand moisturising cream and knead again.
Cut into sections and color each one with different food dyes.
Store in an airtight container.

There are a few activity ideas available on Magical Mammoth's page
