Project Mode – Playdough

Here is something fun and easy to do with your kids on a rainy day.  A friend recommended not using any food color since kids associate color with items. With white playdough they can use their imagination and create whatever they like with out being limited by the color. This will make for a fun time for the entire family!

Things You’ll Need:

• 3 cups flour
• 1/3 cup salt
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 cup water
• 7 drops food coloring
• large mixing bowl
• small mixing bowl

1- Add together flour, salt and vegetable oil in large mixing bowl. Mix well.
2- In separate bowl, pour in water. Add 7 drops of food coloring to water and stir well.
3- Slowly add the colored water to the mixture in the large bowl, about 1/4 cup colored water at a time. Stir together with a spoon.
4- Turn dough onto wax paper and knead by hand until the desired consistency.
5- Store in a sealed container. This will prevent the play dough from drying out. Always return it to the container when finished.

Have fun!
