Day 261: 9/19/11- Make Homemade Play-Doh

Day 261: 9/19/11
New Thing: Make Homemade Play-Doh         

Inspiration: National Play-Doh Day          
Cost: $5
Time: A bout 20 minuets                                
Bottom Line: Homemade toy turned into a home-made mess!

Theses are more beautiful then mine turned out.

Reflection: September 16th is National Play-Doh Day and since I missed it, I thought I would do it today. Here is the recipe that I used from the blog "Hammer & Thread:"

Homemade Play Doh

• 1 cup Flour
  
• 1/2 cup Salt
  
• 2 tsp Cream of Tartar
  
• 2 Tbs Vegetable oil
  
• 1 cup of water dyed with food coloring

Mix everything together in a Non-stick pot (Seriously use non stick. Trust me) Stir over medium heat. It will look really soupy when you start but then suddenly it will come together. When it clumps into a ball dump it onto a cutting board to cool. 

I added a drop of lavender oil to Delia's to give her play-time a little aroma kick. It was definetly a hit, but very messy.
