So, I tried{like, really hard}to find a GREAT play-dough recipe that did
not call for Cream of Tartar {because I didn't have any on hand and I did NOT want to go to the store...} and while I found some that are "meh, okay" this one {which, unfortunately calls for Cream of Tartar} is fantastic!!!
1 cup white flour
1/4 cup of salt
2 tsps cream of tartar
1 cup water
1 tbsp oil
food colouring
Mix flour, salt, and cream of tartar in a medium pot. Add water, oil and food colouring. Cook and stir over medium heat. When mixture forms a ball in the pot, turn out, knead, and play!

When I was a kindergarten teacher I made peanut butter play dough for my kids and they just about died of happiness : )
YUM!
I saw one on studio 5 last week (?) that uses Jello for color and SMELL!!! I'm dying to try that one with Joshy. Yours looks pretty. Such a fun mom.
Jello?
Yum!
I've also heard of using Kool-aide for a yummy smell!
I'll have to do another test kitchen and figure out the best way to go about it.
I also MUST get that peanut butter play-doh recipe! That would be amazing!
Way cool! My 2 year old could play with play-doh for HOURS! I bought her some Moon Dough for Christmas thinking it would be a good investment since it can't dry out, but it flakes all over which makes an even bigger mess. I'm definitely going to give this a try! Surprisingly, I think I actually have Cream of Tartar in the cupboard too!
I'm so going to try this soon!! My kids all love play dough.
You are a total overachiever. I feel like a champ when I make ONE batch of playdough. I am tired thinking of making four. You are awesome and inspiring.
can't wait to try this... LOVE the new blog btw
loved it! And you inspired me to make it with vibrant colors, which I didn't know homemade play dough could have!
I love your blog! And I think I may know you! Do I look familiar? Were you in Bishop Bartholomew's ward?
Hi Jen!
