Do you own play dough !
To keep the little busy during rainy days or shelter in place you could try to make Play Dough…
Here is the best & easy recipe:
- INGREDIENTS2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup salt
4 teaspoons cream of tartar
2 cups of warm water
2 tablespoon vegetable oil
Vegetable food coloring
Mix together all the ingredients in a 2-quart
saucepan.
Cook over low/medium heat, stirring.
Continue stirring until the mixture is thickened and begins to gather around the spoon.Remove the dough onto a plate to cool down. Ready to play !
Cool completely before storing in a ziplock bag or sealed container.
If you want to add colors :
Separate the dough in 4, roll it a ball and add few drops of
colouring in the center. Knead it well and ready !
Tips:
- After few tries with homemade colouring ( tough stains & pink hands for 2 days ;0) i decided to give a try to natural foods colouring. You can easily buy a box in Mollie Stones for $9.99
I use mats to keep the fun going … Draw a large face shape on a paper and insert it in a protector sheet ! Tada ! You can also use a plate and utensils, flowers stems, body outlines, cupcakes & much more !
