Kid's Crafts





Peanut Butter Play-Dough
When my kids were little, I loved this recipe.  It is really yummy, and so fun for the kiddies.  Make sure their hands are really clean before they play with it.
Here's the recipe:




Homemade Play-Dough

Make Your Own Play-Dough

Play Dough Recipe
I love homemade play-dough so much more than store bought.  It smells better, feels better, and doesn't dry out as fast.  I used to make a batch of this play-dough for my kids at home, changing the colors for the season. Although little hands stayed busy shaping and molding, the play dough never dried out!


You'll need:
Flour -  3 cups
Salt - 1 1/2 cups
Water - 3 cups
Vegetable Oil  -2TB.
Cream of tartar - 1TB.
Food coloring - few drops or unsweetened "Kool-Aid" 1 - 2pkgs (adds scent of the "Kool-Aid").


Mix ALL of the ingredients in a large saucepan.
Cook over medium low heat, until the dough comes away
from the edges of the pan and it becomes difficult to move the spoon. Remove from heat. Cool until it can be handled.
Place on counter or wax paper knead 3-4 times.
Store in an air tight container.
