We are on day 12 of snow covered ground. The boys have played in it almost everyday that the temperature is above 20. I bundle them up and watch through the windows. This morning we took a break from winter activities and made play-doh. If there isn't an altercation they can play for over an hour with it. Homemade play-doh doesn't dry out as fast compared to store bought. It is more crumbly but I just keep the vacuum handy.
Here's how we made it.
3/4 cup flour
1/2 cup salt
3/4 t cream of tartar
1 1/2 vegetable oil
1/2 cup boiling water
food coloring (optional)
We mixed the dry ingredients first. Add food coloring to the boiling water then add oil to the mix. Add the oil and water combination to the dry and mix with a spoon because it will be hot. When it starts to look like play-doh you can knead it with your hands. If it's too sticky knead in some more flour.
