This weekend, Kyle worked both Saturday and Sunday. So that meant Taryne and I were on our own for entertainment most of the weekend. Today she was running around like crazy and was totally not into any of her other toys/activities. And since it was raining, we couldn't go to the park or to feed the ducks. So I decided to find a crafty type thing to do/make and finally settled on homemade play dough.
Every day when I pick Taryne up from school, she is playing with play dough. She is making shapes, using cookie cutters, and all sorts of utensils to play with the play dough.
The play dough was very easy to make....and it makes a TON of play dough. We could have made twice as many colors if we wanted. We divided the dough up into 7 balls and Taryne picked the colors she wanted.
Here is the recipe for the play dough. I found several others and just decided to pick one.
Recipe:
3 cups flour
1.5 cups salt
6 tsp. cream of tarter
3 tbsp. oil
3 cups water
Pour all ingredients into a large pot. Stir constantly over medium heat until a dough ball forms by pulling away from the sides. Knead dough until the texture matches play dough (1-2 minutes). Store in plastic container. Should last for at least 3 months.
Until next time...Gig'em!
