Play Dough

Emily and I had great fun making play dough the other day. I have seen the recipe for making this from time to time but never got around to making a note of it or even bothering I suppose. So I was really pleased when Karen got hold of the recipe so that I could take it down and make some too.

I have to say it is so easy to make and so much better than the stuff you buy from the shops, it seems a lot more pliable and easy to squidge through holes or cutters, which is great news for the little ones. Anyway I maybe preaching to the converted but I thought I would put the recipe online, that way I always know where I can find it.

Mix together:

4 cups of plain flour
6 teaspoons cream of tartar
2 cups of salt
8 dessert spoons of oil
4 cups of boiling water

Put in the fridge to cool down, then split and knead in food colouring

Play dough is one of those kids things that I could play happily for hours. It's kind of like meditation.
