Homemade Play Dough

Hello All!

As many of you know I have a two-year-old at home and sheltering in place can get a little boring. So for today's creative project, I found a recipe to make homemade play-dough. I understand that many of our older FPLS students may not be interested in this-BUT it may be a nice stress reliever for you too.



The Recipe:

1 cup of water
1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
1/2 cup of salt
1 tablespoon of cream of tartar
Food coloring of your (think about our Color Theory Lessons and mixing paint-see below!)



Mixing food coloring is very similar to mixing paint!


Mixing Instructions:

1. Combine water, oil, salt, cream of tartar, and food coloring in a saucepan and heat until warm.
2. Remove from heat and add flour.
3. Stir, then knead until smooth. The cream of tartar makes this dough last up to six months or sometimes longer! If you do not have the cream of tartar the recipe should still work but it will not last as long.
4. Store your dough in a ziplock bag.



As always, have fun and be creative!
