...Playdough!
Invite a friend, roll up your sleeves, and make a big pot of it for an afternoon of guaranteed fun!
I would expect no less than an entire cat family from this feline-loving, playdough making crew!
Playdough
- 1 cup flour
- 1/2 cup salt
- 1 cup water
- 3 dessert spoons of vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons of cream of tartar
- Food coloring
Mix all ingredients together. Add a few drops of food coloring. Keep mixing until all lumps have been blended. Put the mix in a saucepan and cook it very slowly over medium heat. Keep stirring. When dough starts to come away from the sides of the pan, remove it from the heat.
A half cup of salt in every batch. No wonder it tastes so salty!

I've made four batches of this playdough since she came home with your recipe! Really easy and don't think I'll ever buy it in the store again...thanks!

Oh, I LOVE this recipe. I found that when my kids were all small, making a recipe of this play dough and having them all work with it while it was still a little warm was very calming on a cold wintery day. And a little calming was VERY good!
