* 1/4 cup salt
* 2 tablespoons cream of tartar
* 1 cup water

They say red and green flavors work the best. I thought about adding food coloring to the other colors to intensify them. And I love this playdough because it smells so good. Edin hasn't figured out that he could eat it. This recipe doesn't have a lot of salt in it so I bet it doesn't taste too yucky.
I'm going to make playdough for play group in the next couple of weeks. The kids will get to pick the "flavor" the want. Yay! Here's some pictures of our first adventures with playdough.
The first roll

This is Lizzie peaking around the dishwasher to get a glimpse of the action.

My creation

Edin liked cutting out a shape and then putting the dough back in place.

I used to make play dough for the kids. It was so fun. You are bringing back memories. We always had play dough, bubbles and sidewalk chalk on hand. Those were fun days.
I want some! Can you eat it too? Cute kids by the way.
I had a neighbor try eating a little and said it was still sick so I wouldn't recommend it.
