DIY Play-Doh

There are so many benefits of the use of Play-Doh in play.

Fine motor development, imagination and creativity, muscle development, coordination-

are just a few of the things that it can be useful for.

I decided to make my own...and i'm sharing the method with you!

You will need:

2 cups plain flour

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1/2 cup salt

2 tablespoons cream of tartar

1 3/4 cup boiling water

food coloring

2 teaspoons glycerin

Directions:

1. Mix flour, vegetable oil, salt, and cream of tartar in a plastic bowl.

2. Add the boiling water.

3. Stir until it starts to become a play-doh-ish texture.

4. Add food coloring and glycerin.

5. Take it out of the bowl and knead it until it is no longer sticky. If it stays too sticky, add more flour until it reaches a good consistency.

PLAY!

If you don't like it, change it. If you can't change it, change the way you think about it.
