How to make no-cook clay

A bottle of vegetable oil, stacked white bowls, a container of cream of tartar, vanilla extract, and a bag of plain white flour—all Waitrose branded—arranged together and ready to make no-cook clay.

What you’ll need…

2 cups of plain flour
2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
½ cup of salt
2 tablespoons cream of tartar
1 cup of just-boiled water
Food colouring
Mixing spoon
Large mixing bowl
Small bowl

Step 1

A person stirring flour and a white ingredient in a blue mixing bowl with a spoon on a wooden surface to make no-cook clay.

Mix up the flour, salt, cream of tartar and oil in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

A child pours a dark liquid from a small bottle into a clear glass bowl filled with red liquid on a wooden table, preparing to make no-cook clay.

Ask an adult to measure one cup of boiling water and pour it into a small bowl. Then add a large splash of food colouring.

Step 3

A person stirs pink batter and white flour to make no-cook clay in a large blue and black mixing bowl with a spoon on a wooden surface.

Ask the adult to pour the hot water bit by bit into the mixing bowl and stir until it becomes a sticky dough. You might not need all of the water.

Step 4

A child’s hands knead pink play dough on a wooden table dusted with flour, inspiring little ones to make no-cook clay creations.
