Favorite Thing #16: Homemade Playdough

This is such a great activity for the kids on these cold rainy days.

3 cups flour
1.5 cups salt
6 tsp cream of tarter
3 tbsp oil
3 cups water

Dissolve salt in the water.
Pour all ingredients into a large pot.
Stir constantly over medium heat until a ball forms by pulling away from the sides.
Knead the dough mixture until the texture matches playdough (1-2 minutes). You can add food coloring to make it any color you want. You can also add vanilla, peppermint, or really any extract to make it smell festive. The kids love this stuff. If they eat a small bit of it, it's not the end of the world either because it is food based. It lasts a really long time if you keep it in an airtight container.
