This is a sure-fire play-doh recipe that I use all. the. time. I got it from Wesley's preschool. It lasts quite a long time as long as it's kept airtight. As it dries out you can just chuck it, or if too many hands get into it and it's germy you can use it for other things like making baking soda & vinegar "volcanoes." The other nice thing is that it's made with, you know, ingredients, so if kids/babies eat it they won't ge hurt, they'll just get a mouthful of salt. We have a good time around this place. Wesley is ADDICTED to play-doh, and I love that Laurel is taking an interest too. One of my mommy friends knew we were crazy about play-doh and just gave me a HUGE BIN of play-doh accessories that'll bring my children great joy. Now to find the time to sift through them and find them a place to live in our toy chest....
(These are from February 2013...)
(Wesley says, "no Big Airplane, you may not eat play-doh!)
(And a few from December 2012...)
Yes. We do play-doh several times a week now.
And now the main event here.....
First:
Heat to boiling 2 cups of water
Add 3 tablespoons oil
Add food coloring if you want (to match your kool-aid below, I recommend it for deeper color)
Combine:
2 1/2 cup flour
1 cup salt
1 Tablespoon cream of tarter
1 pkg unsweetened kool-aid
Mix wet with dry. Let the kids help but remember it was boiling water so it'll be hot.
Knead, and add more flour if necessary to make it less sticky. Keep in an airtight bag and it'll last forever!
