More FHE Fun

This week we decided we'd cook up another activity for Family Home Evening. PLAY DOUGH! We had fun making it and even more fun playing with it. Our lesson was on sharing so the kids had lots of opportunities to share with each other as we cooked, played with our makeshift play dough toys, and cleaned up all together. So if you are snowed in like us and wanting to do something a little different then we suggest mixing up a little play dough and have yourselves a good time.

Traditional Play Dough

• 1 cup flour
• 1 cup warm water
• 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
• 1 teaspoon oil
• 1/4 cup salt
• food coloring - I did 11 drops
  

Mix all ingredients, adding food coloring last - I added the food coloring into my water before I added it to the flour mixture . Stir over medium heat until smooth - you'll get a good arm workout doing this! Remove from pan and knead until blended smooth. Place in plastic bag or airtight container when cooled. Will last for a long time.

I made two separate batches one green and one blue. Thus you can see this recipe is smallish and it isn't hard to make different colors by just making two or three different batches.
