Home Made Play Dough

Grace and Olivia

wanted to play play dough

and we only had one little tub.

 

 So, Olivia helped me make some more.

 We mixed the ingredients and then

cooked it for maybe 5 minutes at 

the most. It was really quite simple.

 When it began to form and get really thick

we dumped it on the table and kneeded

it until it was soft and pliable

It was really good play dough.

 I made a double batch, because,

who wants to get into the middle of a

project and run out?

More is better... right?

Anyway... here is the recipe:

Home Made Play Dough

• 1 cup flour
• 1 cup water
• 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
• 1/3 cup salt
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• food coloring

 Mix the ingredients in a large pan and cook on the stove top until mixture thickens. Then cool slightly and kneed until pliable. Store in a large zipper bag or air tight container at room temperature.
