Homemade Playdough

If you're a parent and you haven't yet made homemade playdough I thoroughly recommend you do so in the near future as it is so easy, so much fun, and it turns out so much better than the shop bought stuff. (It smells nicer for starters!) Homemade playdough uses only 5 ingredients:

• flour
• water
• salt
• oil
• cream of tartar

I had trouble finding cream of tartar in France so we had some brought over from the UK. Our favourite playdough recipe can be found here. We made ours without the jello but used food colouring instead to make different colours. Reuben helped me get all the ingredients together and I took over at the cooking part. It's ready in minutes and can be played with as soon as it's cooled. What do you think of Jacob's masterpiece?!

Next time we make some I'm going to not only add colour but scents like these! It will be a great test to see how good the boys are at recognising different smells!
