Since ‘Play Clay’ was a very important distraction in our house this summer, instead of buying large volumes of play dough pots, I decided to make large batches of my own. In this way I could make a rainbow of play dough colours and my children moulded away to their hearts content.
Play Clay
Things needed
1 cup flour
1 cup water
½ cup salt
1tsp vegetable oil
½ tsp of cream of tartar, or baking soda or vinegar
Food colouring of your choice
Method
Mix all ingredients together in a saucepan and cook over medium heat until the mixture holds together (keep mixing or it will stick to the bottom of the pan). When the clay is cool enough
to touch, your child can knead it on a floured board. Now your children can knead away to their hearts content!
