I got so tired of the play dough plastic containers that were hard to open and close for their little hands that I decided to make our own. I wanted something wintery ( is that a real word)??
I came up with the recipe I always use and just added peppermint extract and some glitter. (It's hard to capture the glitter with the camera)
1 Cup Flour
1/2 cup salt
2 tbsp oil
2 tsp cream of tartar
1 cup water
food coloring ( or keep it original)
Heat the oil in a pot. Remove from the heat and add food coloring and water.( I do this so the food coloring mixes evenly) Stir in all other ingredients. Continue to cook over low heat until mixture is firm, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat, and set clay mixture on wax paper to cool.
Store in an airtight container
We made blue, pink and the original was a creamy white. I tell ya what... It smells up the whole kitchen when the girls play with it, and I love the little twinkle of glitter :) Enjoy!
