So I figure more time with kids less time on pinterest and farming is always good. So last night I found some recipes on pinterest for homemade playdoh. I seemed to have everything I needed.
I found a recipe here that asked for 1/2 cup of conditioner, 1 cup flour, 2tsp oil, and food coloring.
She said she substituted the conditioner for koolaid. So I have koolaid.... so I used koolaid. I'm thinking now that maybe I should have added water...
My 2 yr old was excited to help make it before play. So I had her pour in all the measured ingredients.
We finished making it, kneading it, and the color finally set in.
So she got to play with it and is extremely happy I let her use my cookie cutters.
My son finally emerged from his room. Billy had pre-k this morning and of course is avoiding his homework again. So when he came to me, he saw his sister playing and automatically started to take out her jewels, which in turn made her scream.
So I pulled him away from her and guided him to the kitchen. We tried this recipe to see if it worked any better. I have Ivory soap. This seemed greasier than the oil and it wasn't clumping any better than the previous playdoh recipe. He liked the blue coloring we added to it.
I don't know. Try these recipes and let me know if they worked for you.
I was really trying to avoid having to cook the recipe because the kids aren't that patient. So now I'm debating whether I should whip ot up right now in Green before Beau wakes up so it's cooled and ready. Hmm?
It's been about 30 minutes with the children playing. Forming, kneading, grinding, etc. It seems like the second recipe has become more managable. The first one is completly crumbled now and greasier. So, live and learn.
