Who likes old, dried up play dough? Not my kids. And that's the only kind we found the last time we opened up our crumbly stash. So for this week's challenge, we decided to make a batch of homemade! It turned out nice and squishy and we were able to customize the colors and add a bit of sparkle. We let the dough sit out for a few hours before creating some fun little sculpture art. We used a couple cookie cutters and various play dough tools. The dough is supposed to last up to six months, so this batch should provide many more hours of entertainment :)
Here is the recipe we followed:
1 cup water
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 cup salt
1 tablespoon cream of tartar
Food coloring
Saucepan
1 cup flour (we added a little extra)
Combine water, oil, salt, and cream of tartar in a saucepan and heat until warm. Remove from heat and add flour. Stir, then knead until smooth. Divide and add food coloring. Store in Ziploc containers.
