Today's activity is a classic with a Valentine's Day twist! Homemade play dough will be lots of fun for your kids and keep them entertained for a while!

 Play Doh Ingredients:
    2.5 cups water
    1 1/4 c. salt
    1 1/2 tbsp. cream of tartar
    5 tbsp. vegetable oil
    2.5 cups flour
    Food coloring, liquid watercolors, or icing colors
 

We mixed up pink, red, and white batches of play doh. I bought heart shaped cookie cutters at the Dollar Store. My kids had fun cutting  and molding hearts.


Do your kids like to play with play doh? Have you ever made your own or do you buy it from the store?

My daughter loves play doh! I haven't tried my son in a while.  Last time he tried to eat it.  I should try him again.  I have never made my own but as soon as the stuff we bought two years ago is gone, I will ONLY be making my own.  I have a ton of neat recipes saved!

Yes they do however we dont have any in the house and I will not make it for them. To messy and the toddler will just eat it.

Maybe when ds is older we'll try this but right now he'd try to eat some. Lol

We have some store bought play dough, but have not made our own at home. This sounds like a fun project.

We LOVE LOVE LOVE playdough!  We ask for it for all special occasions.  But of course we also make our own.  You can also scent the playdough or even put edible sparkles in it!  :)  So much fun!!!!
