Home Made Play Dough
Tonight I spent a little time with my oldest daughter. We found a recipe for
making home made play dough which I thought was cool. I knew it couldn't be
hard to make but never knew just how to make the stuff. Here's the recipe we
used:
1 cup flour
1 cup water
1/4 cup salt
2 teaspoons Cream of Tartar
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Food Coloring (leave this out to make white)
Just put all this into a pot and cook it over medium heat while constantly
stirring it until it gets thick. Then plop the glob of dough on some wax paper,
let it cool some, and kneed it until it's smooth. It's amazingly like the
stuff from the store. It even smells like it a little. Supposedly it doesn't need to
be refrigerated or anything. Just store it in a sealed container or Ziploc
bag.
Pretty fun for the 4 to 6 year old crowd.
