Homemade Play-dough
Today we made homemade play-dough to occupy some of our time inside as the weather outside is a bit chilly. Ryden is learning to recognize his letters and we are working on his name too, so we incorporating this into our play dough activity. Here is a simple recipe I found online although I had to be creative when it came to the food coloring because I did not have any on hand. Plain beige play dough probably would have worked fine but I looked in the fridge and did notice some beets that could help me out in this situation. I simply peeled and cut up the beets and added them to the 3 cups of water the recipe called for. The play dough came out pink so if you would rather have red I would leave the beets in a little longer, I left them in for about ten minutes. Here is the recipe:
3 cups of flour
1.5 cups of salt
6 tsp. cream of tarter
3 tbsp. oil
3 cups of water
Continually mix ingredients together over medium heat until it balls up into one big piece of play dough. This step took about 5- 10 minutes. Let cool and then store in a air tight container or zip lock bag after playing with it.
Have a HAPPY day.

It is beautiful to see Ryden working so hard. He will have all his letters down in no time.
