Recipes

Make great memories with your children;
take time to cook with them.
There are so many fun lessons that can take place
while you are preparing these recipes together; counting, measuring.
And don’t forget to laugh when the occasional egg hits the
floor or you end up with a flour cloud
looming over the kitchen.

Play Dough (cooked method)
This is my favorite play dough recipe. The consistency is very
much like the store bought play dough.

Ingredients:
1 cup flour
½ cup salt
1 tablespoon oil
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 cup water
food coloring or *koolaid

Instructions:
Stir and cook for approximately 3 minutes; until it pulls away from the sides of the pan. Take off the heat and knead by hand until it looks like playdough. Keeps for approximately 2 months (with home use). Store in refrigerator.

*I wouldn’t use koolaid to color the play dough unless the children are a little older because the wonderful smell is going to make them want to eat it.

Play Dough (un-cooked method)

Ingredients:
1 ¼ cups flour
¼ cup salt
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 cup boiling water
1 ½ tablespoon oil
food coloring or *koolaid

Instructions:
Mix all ingredients together and knead until smooth.

*I wouldn’t use koolaid to color the play dough unless the children are a little older because the wonderful smell is going to make them want to eat it.
