Homemade Play Dough
Who doesn't love the feel of Play Dough? Young and old alike will have a ball with this week's Summer Camp activity as we show you just how easy it is to create Play Dough right in your own kitchen. All the recipes can be made with items you already have on hand, are quick and easy to make and will easily keep for the future. Let's get started:
Play Dough
2 cups flour
3 tbsp cream of tartar
1/2 cup salt
4 tbsp oil
1/2 cup boiling water
food coloring
Mix dry ingredients together. Mix oil, food coloring and boiling water in a separate container. Stir liquid mixture until cool enough to knead. You may need to add in some extra flour if it seems a bit too sticky. Knead until smooth. If play-dough is too dry, add more water, a little at a time. If play-dough is too crumbly, knead in a small amount of oil. Store in an airtight container.
