Squishy, Squashy Playdough

This is so easy to make! Here's what you need to get started :

• 1 cup of flour
• 1 cup of water
• 1/4 cup of salt
• 2 tsp. of cream of tartar
• 1 tbsp. of vegetable oil
• food coloring

Stir all ingredients together. Put in a pot over medium heat. Stirring constantly until it forms into a ball. Dump the playdough onto the counter to cool. Then knead a few times until soft. Abracadabra, you have homemade playdough!

Now, let's see what little man thinks of this...

 "What does it feel like?" 

"Squishy, blue playdough"

"Squashy, yellow playdough"

"Doesn't taste so great, does it?"

This was a great activity that let my little peanut explore a different texture...something other than plastic. He had tons of fun squishing it in between his fingers, poking it and even trying to eat it. Ok, I'll admit it, I had fun playing with this stuff too!
