Day 15: Playdough Fun


I found a super easy recipe for homemade PlayDough so we decided to try it out today. Here it is if you'd like to try it, too:

1/4 cup salt
1 1/4 cup flour
1 package FlavorAid (Koolaid)
1 1/2 Tbsp oil
1 cup boiling water

Mix dry ingredients. Add oil. Add water and knead. If sticky, add more flour. Put in plastic zip lock bag and refrigerate.

The girls loved that the flour, salt and Koolaid looked white until we added the water and then it turned a lovely lavender. It took five minutes to mix together and a couple minutes to cool, then it was ready to go! I really like that the girls can play with it in our Learning Tower at the counter, rather than the kitchen table. It is much easier to clean our counter than the wood table! They tend to spill less this way, too.
