Two doors down we had a neighbor, Mrs. Tomasi. She always had neat things for us to do. One of my favorites, was making Playdough. This is her recipe. I have jazzed it up a bit by adding glitter and using the Kool-aid packs*, but I think she'd approve!
Playdough Recipe
Cook over medium heat for 3 minutes or until mixture begins to pull away from pan:
1 cup flour
1 Tablespoon oil
1/2 cup salt
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 cup of water
Add food coloring, or powdered Kool-Aid and knead. I like the Kool-Aid. It is easy to pour, and makes the dough smell good, too. Knead in some glitter, too if you like!
Look how bright the colors are!

ReplyDeleteOh, Callie seeing this is such a treasure! I was just thinking our 2 year old is ready for playdough and no better way to start than with the Kool-Aid reccipe :) Loved those Tomasi's :) Also, I just finished a batch of the pumpkin choco chip cookies for Thanksgiving. I'll try your recipe next time. Remembering BOTH our wonderful moms, this time of year especially. I didn't realize Jackie past just a year before my mom.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
