The Cat and the Cauldron

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)
