Guest guest Posted September 28, 2000 Report Share Posted September 28, 2000 Here's the play-doh recipe: Play Dough Recipe 2 cups rice flour 1 cup salt 4 teaspoons cream of tartar 2 tablespoons oil (we use olive oil) 2 cups colored water (use 1 tablespoon natural food coloring per 2 cups) Mix all the ingredients in a pan. Stir over medium heat. It will look like a mess, but that's ok. Keep going until mixture thickens and pulls away from the pan. Allow the dough to cool, then knead briefly (use a sprinkling of rice flour if needed). Variation: We have used clear water and added the color afterwards, during the kneading process.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2000 Report Share Posted September 28, 2000 , I think that I found this one in hte archives, or maybe at the perpetual preschool site. 2 c. Rice Flour 1 c. salt 4 tsp cream of tartar 2 Tb. oil 2 c. colored water Dump it all in a pan and cook over medium heat. It looks like a big mess, but it's OK. Keep going until it thickens and pulls away from the pan. Allow the dough to cool, then knead it briefly--you might need to use a sprinkling of rice flour. I made this and sent it to 's class and his teacher loved it. The rice flour, always being gritty, actually was great because it added some extra texture for all of the sensory business. Now whenever our kids play in their food or dig holes or do anything messy, I always tell my husband that it's OK because it's a " good sensory experience " . That's become our catch phrase. E-mail me privately if you need anything else, we make our own paint and slime and everything else. Dawn Bunting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
