PLAYDOUGH
1 c. flour
1 c. boiling water
2 tbsp. cream of tartar
1/2 c. salt
1 tbsp. oil
Food coloring
1 c. boiling water
2 tbsp. cream of tartar
1/2 c. salt
1 tbsp. oil
Food coloring
Mix and knead together in a bowl. That's it! So fast I feel the need to turn the addition of food colouring into a lesson in colour mixing for my three year old whenever we make it together. Here are some easy combos for kids to remember, using basic food colour options:
blue+green=turquoise (pictured)
blue+red = purple
red+yellow=orange
yellow+blue=green
I also have a little colour wheel that we bring out to look at primary, secondary and tertiary colours. Not sure how much my oldest is learning from the wheel, but it makes my day to hear him try to pronounce 'tertiary'.

I love the colour turquoise and so do my children. Thank you for the recipe, we might even get the chance to make some tomorrow
ReplyDeleteWhat a cutie! Glad you are joining us in the Secret Santa Swap. I am going to need an e-mail address so I can send you the name of your partner before the 10th. Merci!
ReplyDeleteI miss those days when I would make playdough for my kids. I used to have a recipe that called for Kool-Aid, which gave it terrific colour and smell. Your kids are sweet! Angie xo
ReplyDeleteWe are on the same page. We made playdough too! I used a silently different recipe, which involved koolaid instead of food colouring. I will definitely try your recipe.
ReplyDeletePS look forward to hearing about you leaf playdate, that sounds like so much fun. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
Very cool. Thanks!!
