DIY Kids Crafts: Homemaade Play Dough

 (photo credit: Kristan Lynn)

Another great Pinterest find for me recently has been this tutorial by Kristan Lynn on making homemade play dough.  I absolutely hate the way store bought play dough smells.  While I haven’t tried this recipe yet I can imagaine that it won’t have that nasty chemical smell like the other does.

This is going on my list of fun projects for rainy days.

What You’ll Need:

• 1 C Flour
• 1 C Water
• 1/4 C Salt
• 1 TBSP Vegetable Oil
• 2 tsp Cream of Tarter
• Food Coloring (actual coloring or a kool-aid packet will do)
• Sparkles (If you wanna be a fun mom!)
• Sauce Pan and Wooden Spoon
• Little helping hands.

How To Do It:

1. Mix everything together.
2. Blend well until most all clumps are gone.
3. Heat over medium heat and keep stirring.
4. Once the mix starts to form the play doughness consistency, remove from heat.
5. Knead with hands and if desired at sparkles.
6. Store in air tight containers when not played with.
