How to make play-doh...

So maybe you've made this millions of times before. But making play-doh was a first for me today.
I was kinda desperate for something different for my 3 yr old to do. So i called my mom up and asked her for the recipe. She is a play-doh making pro, you know.:)

 First off you need
2 cups flour
2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup salt
4 tsp. cream of tarter
2 cups water.

 Combine it all in a kettle.
Add the food coloring of your choice.
Carter's pick was "blue. No green. No, i guess just blue... Wait,,, wait.. I want GREEN!!"
So green it was:)

 

Set your stove top to medium and stir non stop. 

Stir until it is very thick.

Or until your hand falls off. 

Dump it on your counter. Allow it to cool, while you dig in your cupboard for some spearmint extract. 

This is so it smells nice and good....

You, know so your 15 month old will want to keep trying to eat it.

The last step is to kneed it real good and then hand it over to the chillin's.

They will be very impressed and play with it for hours on end. 

OK maybe not hours on end. I was impressed with how long my "short attention span son" spent playing with it though!!

From the time i called my mom for the recipe till they  were able to play with it- was less then 20 minutes. No joke. It doesn't take long at all!!
