Play Dough Fun

I've been dying to make some home made play dough -- okay maybe "dying" is a bit of an exaggeration -- but I have been wanting to try it. We have so much of the store-bought variety at home (given to the kids as gifts) that we just haven't had the opportunity until now.

Fletcher's preschool uses play dough on a daily basis as part of a learning activity they do, so they've started asking for volunteers to make some on a bi-monthly basis. Last night was our turn, so we got to work... (Note to self: do this BEFORE bath time next time!)

Here's the recipe that the school gave us. They give you one of those big reusable shopping bags with all the ingredients in it and the recipe taped to the outside.

Play Dough~
2 Cups boiling water
2 Cups Flour
1 cup table salt
2 Tbsp oil
2 packages kool-aid (for color)

(I assume you could halve the recipe for home use!)

So quick and easy to do! Next time I'm planning to use Julie's recipe at Terminal Verbosity. I like the idea of using food coloring instead of the Kool-Aid, and adding cinnamon or other things for scent.
