If you're looking for a fun and creative activity, making plastilina from scratch is a fantastic choice. Plastilina, also known as modeling clay or playdough, allows you to shape and create various objects. Whether you're a parent looking for a fun project to do with your kids or an artist exploring new sculpting techniques, follow this step-by-step guide to make you very own plastilina at home!

What You Will Need:

  • 2 cups of all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup of salt
  • 2 tablespoons of cream of tartar
  • 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
  • 1.5 cups of boiling water
  • Food coloring (optional)
  • Essential oils or extracts for scent (optional)

Step 1: Mixing the Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and cream of tartar. Mix them together until they are well-blended.

Step 2: Adding Oil and Water

Add the vegetable oil to the dry mixture and give it a good stir. Then, very carefully pour the boiling water into the bowl. Be cautious as you handle the boiling water to avoid any accidents.

Step 3: Mixing and Kneading

Using a wooden spoon or spatula, mix the ingredients until they come together. Once the mixture becomes difficult to stir, it's time to get your hands in there. Transfer the mixture to a clean work surface and knead it like dough. Continue kneading until you achieve a smooth and pliable consistency.

Step 4: Coloring and Scenting (Optional)

If you want to add color to your plastilina, divide the dough into smaller portions and add a few drops of food coloring to each portion. Knead each portion until the color is evenly distributed. Remember to wear gloves to avoid staining your hands.

You can also add a pleasant scent to your plastilina by incorporating a few drops of essential oils or extracts. This step is optional but can enhance the sensory experience.

Step 5: Storing Your Plastilina

Your homemade plastilina can be stored in an airtight container or ziplock bag to keep it fresh for future use. Keep it in a cool and dry place to prevent mold or drying out.

Now that you have your own homemade plastilina, it's time to unleash your creativity and start molding and shaping! Enjoy the process and let your imagination soar!

Remember, even though plastilina is non-toxic, it's always advisable to supervise young children while they play with it and avoid ingestion.
