Playdough Recipes

This blog has been pretty slow now that summer is here. It wont be too long that we start school and things will pick up. Here are a few neat Playdough Recipes I got from an Heart of the Matter email the kids and I may try out today. Ill have to blog and share photos on our outcome... Rubbery Playdough 2 cups baking soda 1 1/2 cups water 1 cup cornstarch Mix with a fork until smooth. Boil over medium heat until thick. Spoon onto plate or wax paper. Nature's Playdough 1 cup flour1/2 cup salt1 cup water2 tablespoons oil 2 tablespoons cream of tartarbeet, spinach, and carrot juice Mix flour, salt and oil, and slowly add the water. Cook over medium heat, stirring until dough becomes stiff. Turn out onto wax paper and let cool. Knead the playdough with your hands until of proper consistency. Use as is, or divide into balls and add a few drops of the vegetable juices to make green, pink, and orange. Just Like the Real Playdough (so they say) 1 cup flour 1 cup water 1 tablespoon oil 1 tablespoon powdered alum 1/2 cup salt 2 tablespoons vanilla food coloring Mix all dry ingredients. Add oil and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until reaching the consistency of mashed potatoes. Remove from heat and add vanilla and food coloring. Divide into balls and work in color by kneading the playdough. Oatmeal Playdough 1 cup flour 2 cups oatmeal 1 cup water Gradually add water to flour and oatmeal in bowl. Knead until mixed (this playdough is sticky, but unique in texture.) Model as with clay. Tip: Add cornmeal or coffee grounds in small quantity for texture.
