Play Dough

So with winter fast approaching, I have been busy searching for fun ideas to do with Jackson. I will try and post them here for anyone who wants some new things to try. Also by doing that I hope to keep myself motivated too! Today we made play dough in Jackson's favorite color ORANGE! Below is the recipe and photos from our "experiment" :)

Play Dough:
1 1/2 c. flour
1/2 c. salt
1tbsp oil

3/4 c. water

1tsp cream of tartar
food coloring

choosing a color for the dough is tough!


bring all the liquids to a boil


Remove from heat and add dry ingredients


Stir to form ball, let cool 5 minutes, then kneed to soft smooth texture. Dough should not be sticky add more flour 1tsp at a time to take away stickiness.


The result= FUN!!

I also tried to find some items in my kitchen for Jackson to use.
Talk about a cheap, fun, educational thing to try with your little one. Jackson played for an hour with this dough....while I enjoyed another cup of coffee and played too!!
