Grab a paper towel and add some water; squeeze out any extra. It should be damp but not soaking wet or super soggy. Wrap the paper towel around your flattened dough, pressing them together.

Now, take the playdough you think you can rehydrate, and divide it into smaller batches. Ideally, each portion should be no more than 1/2 cup. It’s harder to work with large batches that aren’t so easy to fix and knead. 3. Spray the Play-Doh with WaterDon’t soak it; it’s better to start with less and add more as needed. Typically, the dryer the dough, the more water you need. I suggest only using a few squirts at a time. 4. Put the Dough in the Microwave

First, take your dry dough and flatten it in your hands or the counter. This may be hard if your dough is super dry, but the flatter you make it, the larger the absorption area. My kids love Play Doh they have had a few different sets over the years. They seem to have Play Doh in every character or theme imaginable, we have had the Play Doh sets that you can make the characters have hair and minions. The tubs of Play Doh are quite reasonably priced, you can always find online voucher codes for some savings and in plenty of different colours. The only problem we have is if the lids are left off they go dry. I think play doh is very good for hand/ eye coordination, building their imagination and improves the pincer grip. HayleyReevesHec Start by putting the play-doh into a small, microwave-safe bowl. Grab a water spray bottle and spray water all around the play-doh.Then, get your stovetop steam pot and fill the bottom pot with water. Put the steam tray on top and put your flattened dough in that tray.

Then, put the bowl with the dough into the microwave and microwave for 10-15 seconds to soften it. Take it out of the microwave, put it in a plastic bag, and start to knead the dough with your hands.Start by running the dry Play-Doh under water, or dip it into a bowl of water. It should be coated in water entirely on the outside, but you don’t want it dripping with water. The next morning, take it out of the bag and knead until the play-doh feels soft again. 3. Dip & Knead Then, seal the bag, massaging the dough into a big clump. Leave it in the bag overnight since the bag will hold the moisture and humidity.
