Play-doh

Last week I posted about my winter woes. And about my lack of ways to entertain Hailey without driving myself crazy.

Here’s a classic activity we did this week.

Play-doh! The homemade kind. For if (when) it gets eaten.

Want to play too?

You will need:

1 cup flour

1/4 cup salt

2 tablespoons cream of tartar

1 cup water

2 teaspoons food coloring

1 tablespoon oil

Mix all the ingredients together in a sauce pan. Cook for 3-5 minutes over medium heat, stirring until a ball forms. Remove from the pan and knead for 2-3 minutes. Store in an air tight container or plastic bags.

And voila! Play-doh.

Don’t limit yourself to just the play-doh. The container is fun to play with too.
