Home Made playdough- Cooking version




Made these yesterday...It is a cooking version of home made playdough unlike the previous one which is need not to be cooked. Its is very easy to make.


The ingredients are as follows: 
                             
  
  • Plain flour - 1 cup                                    
  • Water - 3/4 cup
  • Salt - 1/2 cup
  • Cream of tartar - 2 tablespoon
  • Cooking oil - 1 tablespoon
                                                                            













Method:


  1. Firstly, what you do is, add all the ingredients in the saucepan. 
  2. Using a whisk stir the mixture until they are well mixed.
  3. Next, with low-medium heat stir the mixture until it thickens.
  4. Once the dough start gathering together around the spoon you know that it is ready.
  5. You can now spoon it out and divided into few smaller ball depending on how many colours you want to make.
  6. I like to add the colour after the dough is ready making it into smaller balls. You have to use your muscle to knead the dough after adding the colours of you choice.
  7. However, you can also add the colours during mixing all the ingredients together. It is much easier and less hassle.

I enjoy making these, and my DD also enjoy playing with them. You can store them in a zip lock bag and it would last quite some time. I've read in a blog, hers lasted for a year! So please try making them and let me know how it turned out.

Home Made Play Dough

Play Dough has been in our childhood life since the beginning of time and for as long as I can remember.
It is both fun and educational. It can develop our little ones fine motor skills and imagination.
My little princess loves it sooo much! She always ask to play with play dough every day.



keep in the airtight container for 'freshness' [^_^]

The ingredients are:

  • All purpose flour - 1 cup
  • Salt   - 1/4 cup
  • cooking oil -  1 tablespoon
  • water - approximately 50 ml
  • food colouring - depend to your liking. ( I used powder)


Method:
  1. Mix all dry ingredient together and stir thoroughly.
  2. Add the water bit by bit you until you have the desired texture, if its not enough you can add more and vice-versa.
  3. Now you are done! Try it out.

p/s: keep it in an airtight container to avoid it becomes hard.. if it does, just knead it few times until it become soft again.
