Play Dough

I finally discovered the joys of homemade play dough! I don't know why I had never given it a try before. It's fabulous! And so easy! It really just took a few minutes. Here is the recipe I used:

Play Dough

1 c. flour
1/2 c. salt
2 tsp. cream of tartar
1 T. cooking oil
1 c. water
1-3 drops food coloring

Mix dry ingredients in pan. Add oil, water and food coloring. Cook over medium heat stirring constantly until it forms a ball. Add flavoring for a scent.

And here it is:

I made it for Ty's preschool so the kids could make fossil prints with plastic dinosaurs. The kids LOVED that activity. Then we came home and Tyler played with it for another 2 hours! Fabulous!

It's o.k., you can feel free to laugh if you have already been on board with this for years now. I'm fine with that. In fact, I'm fixing to buy myself more salt so I can make more of the blessed stuff!
