If we can make it ourselves we will…and that most definately includes stuff for the kids. Fridays round here finds ‘little ladies that lunch’, some of us ex-pat mums who get together to let the kids hang out while we catch up. A couple of weeks ago we made playdough and it was a big success.
Playdough Recipe (enough for one child, multiply for more)
1 Cup flour
1 Cup water
half Cup salt
1 tablespoons cream of tartar
2 tablespoons cooking oil
1 teaspoons food colouring
couple drops essential oil for pleasant smell if you wish
Mix the dry ingredients and then stir in the oil, colouring and water. Cook over a medium heat, stirring well continuously. A ball will gradually form and then take it off the stove and knead it well until it is smooth. Then roll, squash, squeeze, cut with shapes..(and that’s just for the grown ups!)
