Playdough is so versatile! This week we’ve been playing around with color mixing! It is so much more fun to discover things for oneself than to just be told what’s true…
So we set out to find out what happens when you mix blue and yellow.
It was hard work…
Mixing, mixing, mixing.
Look mom, it’s the same color as peas! 🙂
And blue + red?
Our new colors inspired food-like thoughts…
And put everyone in the mood for a healthy snack!
The things I do to encourage healthy eating habits!
Our favorite playdough recipe (thanks Gin!)
1 c. flour
1/2 c salt
2 tsp cream of tartar
1 c water (room temp)
1 Tbsp veg oil
1 packet kool-aid (must be no sugar kind) or food dye
In saucepan, mix dry ingredients. Add water, oil.
Cook over medium heat, stiring constantly about 3 minutes or until it pulls away from the pan.
Knead and store in airtight container.
Hi There! We are celebrating Play Dough Day over at Joyful Mama’s Place today and just wanted to let you know that I so enjoyed this post, that I linked back here. Would love for you tot pop over for a visit – here is the link: http://joyfulmamasplace.blogspot.com/2010/09/joyful-mamas-play-dough-day-breakfast.html Thanks for the inspiration!
What a great idea! My boys love helping in the kitchen and playing with play dough! Following from Hip Homeschool Hop!
hahaha. I think all my kids have tried to eat it at one point or another! Thankfully, I think everyone has moved past that stage. Although Treyton is full of surprises!
The koolaid adds both color and smell! At Christmas I usually just use green food dye, glitter and pepermint extract for more festve version! Peppermint is the ony one I’ve tried.
There are so may fun ways to mix it up. I’d love to hear of other idea.
my mom always made homemade playdough! did they try to eat it too? I’ve heard other moms say that they use mint or other flavorings to make it more fun too.
