Pinterest Project #2

 I was so excited to see this home made play dough on Pinterest.
 The greatest thing about Pinterest is that you get to see so many different blogs/websites that you normally would never have the time to research!
I looked up play dough today and came across this pin/link.....The Imagination Tree
This is sooo cool. I decided to make some today for Emmeline.

Recipe:

You need:

  • 2 cups plain flour (all purpose)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup salt
  • 2 tablespoons cream of tartar
  • up to 2 cups boiling water
  • food colouring (optional)
  • few drops glycerine (optional- adds more shine!)


Method:
  • Mix the flour, salt, cream of tartar and oil in a large mixing bowl
  • Add the boiling water
  • Stir continuously until it becomes a sticky, combined dough
  • Add the food colouring and glycerine (both optional)
  • Allow it to cool down then take it out of the bowl and knead it vigorously for a couple of minutes until all of the stickiness has gone. * This is the most important part of the process, so keep at it until it's the perfect consistency!*
  • (If it remains a little sticky then add a touch more flour until just right)


Here We Go...
