So...H and I made playdough. What a fun activity! I remember doing this with my mom and with my grandma H. Grandma H always had fun activities to do. Last night I called her to get her recipe for blackberry cobbler. Yummy! She has great recipes too...for all who know her.
This is an awesome project to do with your kiddos...they love it! And they will remember it as fondly as I do.
Playdough Recipe
* 1 cup Flour
* 1 cup Water
* 1/2 cup Salt
* 2 tablespoons Cream of Tartar
* 1 tablespoon Oil
* Food coloring
Mix ingredients in a saucepan and cook over medium heat until the mixture starts to stick together.
Cook 1-2 minutes longer until it is a smooth playdough like texture.
Eating the cookie is optional.
Turn it out onto wax paper. Divide into balls, make a well in each ball, add a few drops of food coloring.
Knead it.
All done! And we only have food coloring on our face and hands. Not bad. :)
Now comes the fun part!!! We made a family, beds, a little tent, table & chairs. H was so happy with her little family. We had to have a brother, sister and baby.
Then we squished it up and made a four layer snowman. That's the fun of playdough!
Baby...yeah!! We did our first full back to belly and then back to back roll today!! K had been doing belly to back for a month, but not able to make the transition back to belly....and today. Mastered!! :)
