Making Play Dough

Who doesn't love squishing their fingers into something soft and pliable? Almost no one! Especially not curious toddlers. Three cheers for play dough! Here's how to make your own:

You will need:
1 c flour
1 c water
1/2 c salt
2 tsp cream of tartar
1 T oil
food coloring

Mix the dry ingredients then add the oil, water, and food coloring. Heat in a pan on the stove top until the mixture forms a ball. Let it cool briefly and then knead until it is soft and cohesive.

Then let the fun begin!



What a great way to have lots of fun on a rainy day!
There is also an edible version which I have never tried since it would send my other children into anaphylactic shock. Here it is:
Edible Play Dough
1 1/2 c peanut butter
1 c powdered milk
1 c powdered sugar
Mix together until it becomes clay-like. Enjoy!
