I made some blue play-doh yesterday. I can barely believe it, but this was Grant's first time playing with play-doh. He loved it! He could have sat there all night long playing with it. It was a hit, and we will be doing it again soon I'm sure.
I found this recipe online and made a half batch:
Basic ingredient ratios:
2 cups flour
2 cups warm water
1 cup salt
2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
1 Tablespoon cream of tartar (optional for improved elasticity)
food coloring (liquid, powder, or unsweetened drink mix)
scented oils (optional)
2 cups flour
2 cups warm water
1 cup salt
2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
1 Tablespoon cream of tartar (optional for improved elasticity)
food coloring (liquid, powder, or unsweetened drink mix)
scented oils (optional)
Mix all of the ingredients together, and stir over low heat. The dough will begin to thicken until it resembles mashed potatoes.
When the dough pulls away from the sides and clumps in the center, remove the pan from heat and allow the dough to cool enough to handle.
IMPORTANT NOTE: if your playdough is still sticky, you simply need to cook it longer!

| I built Grant this train. That's a caribou in front of it. (Like on The Polar Express......Caribou?!) Oh ya, Keith built the train track. |

That was so cute!!! When I didn't scool down enough it looked like Grant had built train, wow is there nothing that that boy can't do? You can really tell he loved it. I hear lots of Mothers say that play dough is too messy but I think the mess is worth cleaning up for how long it entertains. Glad it was a hit! (I've made that recipe, it's really is the best!)
