I don't know about you, but I am ready for spring temperatures and a day at the park! To combat the stir crazyness that is settling in, we made scented playdough today. Although we have spent plenty of time this winter working with playdough the novelty of making it ourselves and it smelling like Hubba Bubba Bubblegum made good old playdough a bit more fun.
Here is the recipe we used:1 cup flour
1/2 cup salt
2 tsp cream of tartar or alum
1 T. oil
1 cup water
Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and stir over medium heat until dough forms into a ball. For scented playdough add 1 package of Kool-Aid. This gives the playdough both color and a scent. Today we made grape, cherry, orange, and lemonade playdough. If you want really bright colors you may want to add a few drops of food coloring along with the Kool-Aid. I did not add any food coloring and I was happy with all the colors except yellow.
*** You can use an electric skillet to mix this playdough instead of the stove top. ***
