I know I'm a little behind with this...but I made play dough with my kids today for the first time! My mom used to make it with me when I was little so I thought I would give it a go! It's super easy, in case you didn't know. :) I did a search and found the recipe at mommyfootprint.
You should try it!
Play Dough Recipe:
1 cup white flour
1/2 cup salt
2 tablespoon cream of tartar (find it in the spice section)
1 tablespoon oil
1 cup water
food coloring
I also added a couple drops of essential oil for a nice smell. :)
Mix first 4 ingredients in a pan. Add water and mix well. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, for 3 – 5 minutes. Dough will become difficult to stir and form a “clump”. Remove from stove and knead for 5 minutes–add food coloring during kneading process. Play dough will keep for a long time stored in a covered plastic container or plastic sandwich bag.
