Home Made Playdoh!

I figure all of you are bright enough to figure out but here is my little disclaimer: THIS IS NOT TO EAT! Well, you could eat it but it would taste really gross and that's not what it's made for. It's made for your children to smear all over the table, cut out shapes, mix together, make a mess and probably (if you're as lucky as me) mush into the carpet. Even though this isn't a recipe for food, its too fun not to share :-) I found this recipe here, and the only thing I did differently was split it up into 5 smaller batches for different colors instead of make one big batch of one color.

Griffinn and I had so much fun with this! He picked out the colors he wanted and helped me mix it all together; then of course he busted out his playdoh accessories and played with it for about an hour!

Ingredients:
1/2 cup of salf
1 cup flour
2 tablespoons Cream of Tartar
1 cup of water
1 tablespoon of oil
Food Coloring (I used Wilton Icing Colors)

Directions:
1. Mix all ingredients together in a medium sized sauce pan
2. Stir over medium heat until dough is pliable
3. Allow to cool and store in a sealed container

This is where I skipped the food coloring step and let the plain white dough cool before I separated it into smaller batches and added the food coloring then.

You can totally just add the food coloring into the pan and make one color though...its probably a lot easier but not near as much fun!

This playdoh is wayyyyy better than the kind you buy at the store; its a lot softer, easier to play with and lasts way longer too!

I'm sure you can buy cute little plastic containers to keep this in but I just used snack sized ziploc baggies.

Have fun!
