White Playdough

[Stargrower]

Does anyone know how to make white playdough? If we don't put any colour in the dough, we just get a creamy-greyish pastry colour...

 

Any tips?

 

Thank you!

Sorry no idea but would like to know the answer. We use salt dough if we want a white dough.

Cloud dough is just flour and oil, baby oil making it a bit whiter.

Or try using cornflour instead of normal flour, add a bit of glitter for snow like dough.

Try making playdough with one part hair conditioner and 2 parts cornflour. That's all you need and just knead it together. Obviously be aware that there may be ingredients in the conditioner that could cause skin allergies. This play dough is really soft and easy to mould.

We did this with 1 part coconut conditioner+ 2 parts cornflour, it was white and smelled fab lovely to play with but was nothing like playdough, more like a lump of chalk that went to liquid as it was played with (as cornflour does) ....did we do something wrong ?

ok, scroll down the page until you get to the recipe never made it - only found it a few days ago and was quite intrigued by it - thought might use it at some point.

We've done it a few times and also added food colouring and glitter to make it into fairy dough, it wasn't chalky at all - very soft and squashy in fact, and it lasted days - didn't go back to liquid.

Wow, thanks everyone! Lots of ideas there. I knew you were the right people to ask. ::1a

We have made dough using aqueous cream. Have a child with bad ecxema.

There's a bicarbonate of soda and corn flour version for a very white version of salt dough for lovely white ornaments. Feels really creepy though. http://theimaginationtree.com/2012/12/white-clay-ornaments-tutorial.html

We use white ready mixed paint.
