We had a lot of outdoor plans for this lovely Monday, but of course I didn't think to check out the weather when planning the week and we woke up to rain, rain, and some more rain. So it came down to some last minute planning to keep these little hands busy and I came across an awesome homemade playdoh recipe. The original recipe I found called for cream of tarter and I didn't have that so I doubled the salt and it worked out great! As soon as my littles sunk their hands into it the first thing out of their mouths was "Mom! This is way better than the store kind!" So its totally mom + kid approved! It calls for everyday pantry ingredients and only takes about 10 minutes.
Ingredients:
2 cups of all purpose flour
1 1/3 cups of salt
2 cups of water
2 TBL of cooking oil
food coloring
Mix flour & salt in large pan. Then add in water and cooking oil. Stir on medium heat and it will get THICK. If you want it all one color then add your food coloring now. If you want it different colors then once its all mixed, grab some gloves and separate the dough into each bowl and go to town mixing and kneeding in your colors. The kids would actually love to do this part and it would be fun for them to mix their own colors.
We store ours in mason jars.
And I will never ever buy store playdoh again.
