Now on to the next item I made for the kids auction. I have made play dough in the past but why not show it again! This was one of the easiest recipes to make and I bet you have most of the items if not all of them in your pantry. I love using Jell-o it has a great color to it and of course the smell is great! Ok NOTE to self DON'T make a post late at night when you've been working since 5AM you will end up typing Kool-Aid instead of Jell-o!!!!
Homemade Play Dough
Ingredients
| 1 | cup of water |
| 1 | cup of flour |
| 2 | teaspoon of cream of tartar |
| 1 | tablespoon of cooking oil |
| ½ | cup of salt |
| 3 | oz Sugar Free Jello |
Directions
Mix all of the ingredients, except for the jello. Microwave it for about one minute and stir. Cook for about 30 more seconds. Keep repeating until the playdough is dough-ish. Knead the playdough and place the jello to color.
I picked up some containers at the dollar store that reminded me of the containers play dough comes in and put it in there. I made a label that said what it was and we were ready to rock and roll!
This is a fun item that the kids can help you make and then they have fun playing with the play dough after. I hope you give this a try it is so fun to do and you can find some many great colors with the jello.
