We made play-dough today. This activity never seems to grow old. We really have to give Dad most of the credit because he went to the store for us three times to get supplies. Hi5 to Dad! :D
We modified a recipe I found on recipe.com
1 cup flour
1/2 cup salt
2 tablespoon cooking oil (you can use only 1)
2 teaspoons cream of tarter
1 package unsweetened Kool Aid
1 cup of water
Mix dry ingredients.
Add oil and water.
Cook over medium heat. (Wait till the play dough gets a little darker then flip it. Does not take more then 5 mins if pan has been preheated.
Place cooked play-dough on to wax paper or bread board and knead
Store in air tight containers. We use ziplock bags.
There are recipes that don't require cooking or cream of tarter on the recipe.com site. I prefer the feel of cooked play-dough. Both BigH and LittleE enjoyed wearing their new aprons for the creation. The play-dough smells delicious it's a good thing it's non toxic. Another thing you can do is add sparkles, sand, lentils, or dried peas to add some texture to the play-dough.
Step One
Get out the ingredients I pre-measured but often I let the kids dig around in the flour and measure themselves.
Pour in dry ingredients.
Add the oil to the water and mix with dry ingredients.
Mix well and cook on medium heat in a frying pan.
Ta da! Play-Dough
