Remember the first time you stuck a finger in neon colored play-dough and felt the cool, smooth but cakey texture squish through your fingers?...ok, well, maybe not the first time. But I do remember the last time I played with it...helping a little-one make multicolored hot dogs, that is, before today! I had the opportunity to mold, roll, shape and squish homemade play-dough with a room full of many playful people. I hope you had the chance to play today.
Here is a recipe to make your own (edible!) play-dough:
Materials:
3 cups flour
3 cups water
1 ½ cup salt
2 TBS veg oil
1 TBS cream of tartar
food coloring
Mix everything together.
Using a non-stick pan, pour the mixture in and stir over medium heat on stovetop. Make sure you are constantly watching it or it will burn. It takes about 10 minutes, or until it looks like play dough! You will see, it starts to harden.
Make sure you let it cool before playing with it.
Each batch makes 8 handfuls.
Enjoy your play!
