Homemade Play Dough is one of our all time favorite indoor, quiet-ish time activities on super hot or rainy days!
Since it rained and today being Dr Seuss' Birthday we decided to whip up a batch of green play dough and ham?! 😉
This is the best recipe I have ever used. It took us less than 10 minutes to make and led to hours of creative (& educational) fun!
And if you have a little who loves tasting play dough...fear not, it is totally safe to eat!🙄
I am a huge fan of sensory play. Play dough is jam packed with developmental and learning opportunities while being so much FUN!
Ingredients Needed:
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1/4 cup Salt
- 2 tbsp. Cream of Tartar
- 1 tbsp. Vegetable Oil
- 10 Drops of Green Food Coloring
- 1 cup of Water
Directions:
- Combine all ingredients in a medium sized pan, mix over medium heat until lump of play dough forms! The dough should be soft and squishy. Not sticky.
- Allow play dough to cool for about 5 minutes.
- Knead well to make sure the coloring is even throughout the dough and is the happiest of Greens!
- Then...have all the fun! Pull out the play dough cutters, rollers, and go to town!
There is no better way to learn than through play!
While playing, we work on numbers, shapes, counting, and size!!
Paired perfectly with Green Eggs & Ham and Bartholomew and The Oobleck!
Bonus...stores nicely in a container and will be perfect addition to your St. Patty's Day Fun!
