Playdough -

Make your own homemade playdough today! Kids love it and I love it because it's easy cleanup and it entertains them for hours. It keeps in the fridge in plastic baggie for another day of play.

PLAY DOUGH

Combine: 2 1/2C Flour
1/2 C salt
1 T alum
In 2 C boiling water add
2 T cooking oil
food coloring
Then pour liquid over dry mixture, stir with heavy duty spoon, when cool enough dump out on floured surface countertop, kneed for about 5 minutes. Add flour as needed to make it pliable.

My children have always loved this playdough. Lately I've been using my old flour and oil. It's better than throwing away the old stuff, plus I get quite time for so long. Alittle messy but it's worth the peace and quite. Also, the children are being creative and using their minds and hands. So, that's cool, too.
