I made up a batch of home made play dough and the kids (as I type this) are playing and making all sorts of things with it. Gilian is very verbal about her creations. I'm letting them use all of my cookie cutters and some non-sharpened pencils.
Here's the recipie that I have (from the Super Baby Food book by Ruth Yaron)
2 + cups white flour (non-self rising)
1/2 cup table salt
1 cup hot tap water
1 teaspoon cooking oil
glitter and food coloring optional
Mix all together in order, add additional flour if dough is too sticky. Kneed for 5 plus minutes and it's ready to use!
Make sure you don't dump this down your drains and that kids play with it in a non-carpeted area!
Store in plastic bags - so the dough doesn't get hard.
I chose to leave the play dough plain without colors or glitter.
