Making playdough reminds me of being a kid.  I still remember that salty smell and the feeling of the warm dough when it is first made.  Recently we had a few rainy days here and had an old batch of playdough that needed to get tossed.  The boys loved “helping” make the playdough.  I think they almost liked making the playdough better than the playing with the dough part!

The recipe is easy – the kids can do everything themselves up until the part it needs to be put on the stove to cook. 

 Playdough Recipe

1 Cup Flour

1 Cup Water

1/4 Cup Salt

2 Tablespoons Cream of Tarter

1 Tablespoon Oil

Food Coloring (a few drops)

Recipe can be doubled. 

Mix all ingredients in a non-stick saucepan then place over medium heat and cook until it starts to come together in a ball.

Be patient – it takes a few minutes on until it starts to form into dough.  Just keep stirring until it forms.   Once it is all combined let cool and let the fun begin!
