Playdough
2 cups flour
3/4 cup salt
4 teaspoons cream of tartar
2 cups water (add in coloring)
2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
Cook stirring continuously on medium heat until mixture is lumpy and play dough consistency.
(don’t burn it, but it will pull together into a ball)
I have found that toothpicks, popsicle sticks, a rolling pin and a plastic knife will beat out expensive toys any day!
This also makes a WONDERFUL homemade gift for the children in your life.
Homemade playdough makes a wonderful gift! I need to make some with my kids again!
ReplyDeleteYou have a very pretty blog. I was reading your about me and thought it was cool that you have a Peter, Andrew and Abigail. My oldest brother is Peter and then the next child would have been named Andrew had she been a boy (but was named Anna as she wasn't a boy!) and then I am next and I am Abbigail. My parents had 3 more after me- Martha, Luke and Keren. I just thought it was neat to see somebody else liking the same names as my parents.
Thanks for linking up to Have a Handmade Christmas on my blog!
Thank you so much for your wonderful ideas! Can you tell me how much your Play Dough Recipe will make? Thank you again and God Bless!
ReplyDeleteBarb, it makes 2 of the plastic containers, or 2 gifts worth.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this! I just came to your blog knowing you had it here! We are having 3 cousins visit this coming weekend and they each get their own play dough. Thanks for making your posts so easy to find. You are amazing! You're like the real deal Martha Stewart.
ReplyDeleteWe love play dough. My children (even my teens at times) can play for hours with it. Thanks for sharing your recipe I can't wait to try it.
