Cold day entertainment!

Today's project was playdough! 

I am a big fan of homemade play dough simply because of the fact that I know exactly what's going into it and Noah likes to "taste" it, plus it will keep him entertained for hours!!

You'll need:

 2 cups flour

2 cups water

1 cup salt

2 Tablespoons vegtable oil

1 Tablespoon cream of tatar(optional for elasticity)

Mix all ingredients in a saucepan on medium heat

This is what it should look like

Continually stir (watch the kiddos carefully around the heat! I only allowed this for picture purposes! ;-)

Then it will eventually look like this:

It will look like mashed potatoes!

Take off the heat and put on a cool surface to let it cool (I put ours on a cutting board)

Let it cool

When it is cool to the touch, knead it until it is silky smooth

If you want to color your playdough break into 4 balls and put a whole in the center to drop food coloring into them

 Drop 5 or 6 drops of coloring into the dough and knead them until the coloring is incorporated into it!

And thats it!

show it off Noah!

Thats was SIMPLE!
