Recipe Alert: Homemade Play Dough!



Mom making homemade play dough is one of my most favorite memories growing up. We used to have the best time just sitting around the kitchen table and making all sorts of things. She's always been way better at making different things, but I just loved the time that was spent sitting around laughing and having a great time.

I thought I'd share the recipe with you. Kids love it--old and young alike and it offers your kids endless hours of fun! You can also bake their creations and allow the kiddos to paint them and give their art away as gifts to family and friends, just omit the Cream of Tartar, Oil & use only hot water to combine the flour and salt. You can also make this dough in batches and use different food colorings to make the dough more appealing to the kids. With an awesome imagination, the possibilities are endless!!!

1 Cup Flour
1/2 Cup Salt
2 Tbsp. Oil
2 Tsp. Cream of Tartar
1 Cup Water
Food Coloring (optional)

Heat oil. Remove from burner and combine all other ingredients and continue to cook over low heat for 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat, place on wax paper and allow the dough to cool. Seal in plastic Ziploc bags or tubs when not in use.
