Hooray! So glad the photos helped!

My daughter is finally interested enough in play dough for me to try the recipe again (thank you local literacy centre that allows her to try activities without me having to commit to the creation and cleanup). Anyway, I tried the recipe again and it worked perfectly. The photos you included in a more recent post helped tonnes! My original problem was because I had whisked the batter and continued to use the whisk, which of course didn’t work when it got super thick. The wooden spoon worked wonders. I just hope my daughter has fun playing with it tomorrow.

I’m so glad you commented! My directions definitely need some clarification – and I just edited the post to hopefully make things a bit more clear. “Nearly set” means that it shouldn’t easily stick to the edges of the pan, and you do not need any flour to knead it. The oil and salt will keep it from sticking. It will be very hot, so you’ll need to knead carefully.

Hopefully this helps! Please let me know if you try the recipe again and it still does not turn out as you expected.

Did you cook it? It is extremely sticky before being cooked…
