Playdough reciepes

We have used several different recipes for playdough. Everyone it seems brings with them an updated version. So we've started a list of them


What You Need:

1 cup flour, 1/2 cup cooking salt, 1 cup water, 1 tablespoon of cream of tartar, 1 tablespoon of cooking oil, food colouring
Activity:

Mix the flour, water, salt and cream of tartar in a saucepan over medium heat until thick. Allow the mixture to cool and then add the oil and knead well over a floured cutting board or similar. Divide this blob evenly into as many colours as you'd like to make. Add food colouring to each ball until it is just the colour your child is looking for. That's it! Allow the children to let their imaginations take them away.

Using Play Dough for teddies friends.

The Guides love using playdough to make teddy's friends. Even better if they can be convinced that using real dough and cooking then eating it won't hurt their Teddies friendship . Can be quite an enlightening time for the adults.
