What do you do when it suddenly turns cold, you’re looking for indoor activities to do with the kiddos and your discover that the Play Dough dried up over the summer?
You make your own!
If you bake fairly regularly you probably have everything you need on hand.
Supplies:
Flour
Salt
Vegetable Oil
Cream of Tarter
Food Coloring
Measuring Cups
Measuring Spoons
Heavy Pot
Rubber Spatula
Directions:
In the pot off the heat add 1 Cup of Flour, 1/2 cup salt, 2 tablespoons oil, and 2 tablespoons cream of tartar.
Mix then add 1 of cup water.
Stir until all ingredients are incorporated. You can also stir in the food coloring at this point.
Cook over medium heat, stirring until dough becomes stiff.
Turn out onto wax paper and let cool.
After it cools knead the Play Dough a few times with your hands to help make it more elastic. Then play!
The best thing is it’s completely edible!!! Although I wouldn’t recommend it.
That play dough looks so much better than any homemade stuff I ever had! It looks just like the real thing!
Can I come over and play?
Your lil’ baker needs an apron! He’s so cute!
