play dough

playing dough for kids

It's very easy to make dough at home as it's always fun for kids and it's non-toxic and you can choose any color your kid's loves.

Ingredients:

1 cup of water

1 cup flour 

1 cup salt 

1/2 cup or less sugar

1 tablespoon oil 

food colors (as per your kid's choice)

*you need a medium cooking pot to make the dough 

direction:

1- Start by adding flour, salt, sugar, water and one tablespoon of oil in the pot on a medium heat.

 2- Keep stirring until it become a ball 

3- Let it cool for 5 min, then make it as a ball shape with your hands.

 4- At this point I'm letting my daughter to help in preparing the dough as you know kids loves to get their hands dirty :) 

5- We cut the ball in half than we used orange and blue colors (I didn't have food colors so I used regular paint :s) 

6- My daughter Meme started to mix the colors with dough.

 7- Finally your dough will be colored and after playing with it we wrap it up with plastic to save it for the next day.

I hope you have a great playing time with your kid's :)
