Kids Crafts

Today we made our favorite craft which is Play Dough. I have two recipes for it depending on time and supplies. I usually try to go the stove-top route as it makes a better dough.

No Cook Play Dough

1 cup of flour
1/2 cup of salt
1/2 cup of water
food coloring

Mix salt, water and food coloring together in a medium bowl. Add flour and mix until all lumps are gone and uniformed shape. If it is sticky add a little more flour and water as needed.


Stove-top Play Dough

2 cups of flour
2 cups of warm water
1 cup of salt
2 Tbsp of vegtable oil
1 tsp of cream of tartar
food coloring

Mix and stir over low heat. The mix will be thick and resemble mashed potatoes. When mix clumps together and pulls off the side of the pan remove from heat. Allow to cool completely.


Hope you have lots of fun with this recipe. What colors do your children like to make?
