What child doesn’t love a little play dough action? Finn is just getting into it and he LOVES making animals!
Thanks to a shared recipe from my neighbor, now we can let our kiddos play assured some random non-editable toxic ingredient in some doughs won’t end up becoming mouth putty. I am told the taste of this dough is so atrocious that once a child puts it in his/her mouth, he/she probably won’t be making that choice a second time.
Plus, it’s cheap. Holla!
DIY Play dough
2 c flour
1 c salt
1 t cream of tarter
1 pkg Kool-aid (for color or could use 4-6 drops of food coloring*)
2 c water
2 T (or more) vegetable oil
Mix dry ingredients together.
Bring water and salad oil to a boil and pour over dry mixture. Stir.
Knead when cool enough to handle. Add more oil (not water) if dough is too dry.
* My neighbor told me the more a child plays with the play dough, the more intense the color will become when using food coloring. *
