What kind of salt should I use to make homemade playdough?

Question

Kosher, table, and sea salt are available

Answer 1

my mum always uses table salt. i don't think it particularly matters but maybe go with one that does not have large crystals. have fun with loads of different food coloring, mum tends to go green or red, blue can come out in really odd shades.

have fun,do not drop any on the carpet just as a heads up.

Answer 2

table salt is what I have used, but use whatever is cheapest for you.  Have you ever added scents to playdough?  We put cinnamon oil in red playdough and the kids loved it!  The oils work best, and they last the longest.  Are you making the cooked kind?  It lasts a long time when covered, but my Kdg. partner also put it in the refrigerator.  If you need the recipe, just let me know.  

Answer 3

I'd just use plain old table salt.

I know you didn't ask for recipes, but this are really good recipes that kids LOVE.

PEANUT BUTTER PLAYDOH

This Makes A High Protein Edible Playdoh

1 c. peanut butter

1 c. corn syrup

1 ¼ c. powdered sugar

1 ¼ c. powdered milk

Mix all ingredients in a bowl, using your hands. Dough should feel soft and pliable. Form shapes and be creative!!

When not using, MUST be stored in an airtight container.

FLUBBER

#1 - Large Container

1 1/2 c. very warm water

2 c. white glue

A few drops of food coloring

Mix this combination thoroughly

#2 - Small Container

1 1/3 c. very warm water

2 level t. borax

Mix this combination thoroughly

Directions

Use your hands to mix the contents of the Bowl #2 into the Bowl #1.

Lift and turn the mixture until it is fully combined. Discard any leftover liquid.

If kept in an airtight container, the Flubber will keep for up to 2 weeks.

Keep the Flubber away from your carpet and hair, as it will stick! Use white vinegar as a solvent.

This recipe makes enough Flubber for six children.

Answer 4

Ahy will do.  My mom used to just grab the salt box.  I don't think the type of salt used will make any difference as to the consistency of the clay.  But if the person using (and possibly eating) the clay is strict jewish, kosher salt would be safest.

What's cheapest...plain ole table salt!

I would use the least expensive available which isn't Kosher or Sea Salt.   After all it is only for playdough and it will be least expensive to make with regular table salt.
