Play Dough Recipe

play dough… The cause of and the solution to many toddler tantrums. So what would we be without a play dough recipe? Without much further ado – here it is:

1 cup flour

1 tablespoon oil

1 tablespoon cream of tartar

quarter cup salt

1 cup water

mix all the ingredients in a bowl (you will find everything at your local grocer). Add flavouring (essence) and food colouring and maybe even glitter (oh the sensory stimulation!). Use a whisk and mix until smooth. If possible use a non-stick pot or pan and pour the “batter” into this. Put the stove on high and stir or “move” the liquid around almost as if you are scrambling eggs. Put a rubber glove on the one hand and turn the play dough over a few times until it looks right. Remove it from the pan and knead from hand to hand until ready. (Be careful not to burn yourself). And voila! It is play-ready.
