One of our favorite winter and rainy day activities, hands down! We keep a box of "tools" that includes cookie cutters and mini rolling pins, and Jack rolls out cookies, makes creatures, builds "dough-men," and entertains himself for long periods at a time--all great fun! We tried out gingerbread play dough over the holidays, and while it smelled quite festive, the spices we added made the consistency a lot more dry, so this recipe below continues to be our old faithful.
PLAY DOUGH
3 CUPS FLOUR
1 1/2 CUPS SALT
6 TABLESPOONS OIL
3 TSP. CREAM OF TARTAR
3 CUPS WATER
FOOD COLORING
Mix all the ingredients in a pan, heating slowly until the mixture clumps together. Remove from heat, stirring and kneading the mixture with your hands until it reaches the proper consistency. Store the play dough in an airtight container in the fridge when not in use, and it will keep for several weeks.
