Playdough Recipe

Winter Fun!  There is nothing like the family gathering to build a snowman or to go sledding down the local hill.  When it is time to come inside for some warm cocoa and indoor activities, here is a recipe that will keep those young explorers busy.  Make some homemade playdough!

Playdough

1. 3 cups flour
2. 1 cup salt
3. 3 Tablespoons oil
4. 1 cup of water

In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients together.  You can add food coloring to make the playdough more colorful. 

Then have fun rolling, shaping and cutting the playdough.  Children can use cookie cutters, or, for a learning experience, have them form the playdough into shapes or letters.  Just for fun, create a playdough birthday cake and use straws for the pretend candles.
