When God Gives You Rain, Make Play Dough

It rained for the umpteenth day in a row today so we decided to make play dough. I have always wanted to make our own but never have. I got a recipe from a friend last week and decided today was the perfect day and I loved it.

They boys really had a good time and there were quite a few steps which was nice because it kept us occupied for a long time. Keep in mind it is not complicated and could probably be made in about 20 minutes if solo but with 3 little kiddos measuring, dumping and stirring, it was an all morning project.

Here is how we did it.

• Stir 1 cup flour, 1/4 cup salt, 2 Tbs cream of tartar in medium bowl.


• Mix 1 cup water & 1 Tbs oil in another bowl
  

• Add food coloring of choice and stir


• Then add the water mixture to the flour mixture and stir until combined
  


• Stir over medium heat 3-5 minutes. When it forms a ball in the center, remove from heat
  
  


• and let cool
  


• Put on floured surface and knead until desired consistency.
  


• Store in air tight container in the fridge.
