I found that the poster paint powder was good for getting strong colours - the food colouring tends to be a bit pastel. But it depends what I have to hand. Amanda's tip for adding lavender oil is also a good one - I do that a lot. Or other oils - rosemary, mint, etc to give the kids a "smell" dimension added to the "touch" aspect of playdough - or adding a small pinch of glitter is sometimes nice. Playdough is really fun. I keep mine in a plastic bag in the fridge (butter compartment in the door) and it keeps for ages. cheers Leah |

Having said that, Mum has the same model (Sharp Carousel) and hers cooks much hotter than mine?? I cook it for less time than the suggested time, but it seems to work. It does come together better after I knead it a bit so maybe reduce the time a bit for your microwave. I do the 1 minute, stir and then a further minute. Maybe check before the allotted time is up and its OK if it looks a little "underdone" as it will keep "cooking" after you take it out of the microwave.

play doh
I found an answer to your question at
http://www.hasbro.com/playdoh/pl/pag...default.cfm#q1 it said the following: " What are the ingredients in PLAY-DOH compound? The exact ingredients of PLAY-DOH compound are proprietary, so we cannot share them with you. We can tell you that it is primarily a mixture of water, salt and flour.
