Olive and I decided to try and make our own play doh last week. I found what was billed as a "no fail" recipe online and we went for it. It was a fun project, but the final product was not as play doh like as I'd hoped.
Ready to start mixing:
Flour and salt (we were low on salt, so maybe that's why it didn't turn out too well):
Adding the oil:
Deciding on color, originally she wanted pink (of course!), but then adding the dye was so much fun that she wanted to add some blue, too, so we decided on purple:
Mixing (see how sticky it looks? It was as sticky as it looks):
It was still worth playing with, and she's played with it several times since then:
Next time, we'll try a different recipe, and add more food coloring for a brighter color!
I remember my mom making edible play-dough with peanut butter. Fun!
ReplyDeleteSuch fun... I LOVE playdough!
ReplyDeleteOh... and try a dry packet or two of kool-aid in with the dry ingredients. You'll get "ooohhhs and ahhhs" when the color appears with the addition of water. Nice color and smell ;-)
