DIY Playdough- The Best Playdough Recipe

     Hello Everyone! Today I have a great activity that will keep the kids busy for hours....Playdough! This a great recipe that makes playdough that can last up to 6 months! So much fun! Here's what you will need:

1 Cup Flour
1 Cup Water
1/4 Cup Salt
1 TB Vegetable Oil
1 TS Cream of Tarter
Food Coloring
Glitter (If you're a FUN mom, lol)

     First, Mix all of your ingredients together in a pot, in any order.
(I've done this many times, and it doesn't matter which order you add the ingredients.)

Once the mixture is mostly clump free, Heat on Medium heat.
Stir continuously....After several minutes, the playdough will form into one big clump around your spoon.
Once it is all clumped into one big blob, remove from heat and knead by hand...my FAVORITE part!
That's it!

Store in plastic container or baggie for up to 6 months! Have fun! This is the perfect activity for rainy days! Give your kids some cookie cutters and a rolling pin, and they will be busy for hours!

This playdough is non-toxic and even edible, although I don't recommend it. Try it out! You will never need to buy playdough at the store again!
