Homemade Playdoh

The past couple of mornings have been rainy & chilly.
I don't mind much, it reminds me of Fall.
We've been passing the hours playing quiet games and creating with homemade playdoh.

After a long day at work Daddy can't resist joining in the fun.

 I have to say this playdoh is way better than the stuff you buy in the store.
It's so much softer and easier for the kids to roll out and squeeze through all their various tools.


Here's the recipe.
{you really must try it.}

1 cup flour

1 cup water

1/4 cup salt

2 tsp. cream of tartar

1 Tbls. vegetable oil

few drops of food coloring

Just dump all the ingredients into your pot and give them a good stir.

  Put your pot on the stove and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it forms into a ball. 

As soon as it joins into one big glob, take it off the heat and dump it onto your counter.  

Wait for it to cool, then knead it a few times until it is nice and soft.

We've been reusing peanut butter jars to store the doh in.

I promise it will put a smile on your little ones face!
