However, our advice is to be patient. It can be easily fixed.<\/p><p>If you think playdough is sticky after you have added water, it is better to wait until it has cooled. It thickens naturally upon cooling, so don\u2019t worry if your homemade playdough feels sticky at this point.<\/p><p>But if your playdough feels sticky even after it has cooled down, you can fix it by kneading or simply adding a little more all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour if you are making the gluten-free version).<\/p><p>Most of the time a good round of kneading the flour does the trick. In case your playdough continues to stick, add more flour &#8211; small quantities at time and knead it well. This should fix it.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5\"><strong>How To Store Homemade Play dough<\/strong><\/h2><p>Playdough tends to dry when left exposed to air. To lengthen its shelf life, you must store it properly.<\/p><p>To prevent playdough from drying and becoming hard and crumbly, you can store it in an airtight container when not in use. This will help to keep it from drying out and prolong its shelf life.<\/p><p>If you live in a humid climate, you may want to store the Playdough in the fridge to prevent it from getting too sticky.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"6\"><strong>How To Soften DIY Playdough<\/strong> <strong>Again<\/strong><\/h2><p>It is not unusual for play dough to dry out if not stored properly in air-tight containers. However, you don\u2019t need to throw the dried, crumbly playdough. It can be easily fixed.<\/p><p>Playdough that has dried out can often be revived with a little bit of water. Simply add a few drops of water to the dough and knead it until it is soft again.<\/p><p>If the Playdough is still too crumbly, add a bit more water to your crumbly playdough until it reaches the desired consistency.<\/p><p>Or simply take a damp towel and wrap your dried playdough in it and keep it overnight in an air-tight container or a zip pouch. This tip works wonders with overly dried playdough and seldom fails to revive it.<\/p><p>You can also add a few drops of water to hard Playdough toys to soften them up as well. This is a great way to extend the life of your child&#8217;s Playdough toys!<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"7\"><strong>Playdough Activities to Try With Kids<\/strong><\/h2><p>Playing with <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scitepress.org\/Papers\/2017\/70483\/70483.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Playdough is a great way to promote creativity<\/a><\/strong> and imagination in children.
