Playdough!

Today as a small group activity we made playdough.  We practised measuring, mixing and used our sense of touch and smell!  Below you will find the recipe we use in class:

Kool Aid Playdough

Ingredients:

3 cups  flour

1 cup  salt

2 packs of KOOL-AID Unsweetened Drink Mix, any flavor—optional (or add food colouring)

4 tsp.  cream of tartar

2 cups  water

2 Tbsp.  oil

Directions:

MIX first 4 ingredients in medium saucepan until blended. Stir in water and oil.

COOK on medium heat 5 min. or until mixture forms ball, stirring frequently.

TRANSFER to lightly floured counter; cool slightly, then knead playdough—be careful this may be too warm for little hands!
