Homemade Easter Playdough

Homemade playdough is a very popular activity in our house.

The girls love pretending and I often see them making pretend playdough cookies.

I saw some cute Easter cookie cutters at the dollar store and thought it would be fun to make a batch of homemade playdough just in time for Easter.

The girls love playdough and I have made a few different kinds over the years.

• One packet Jello (or no-name brand) in the color of your choice
• One cup white flour
• 2 tablespoons cream of tartar
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 cup of water
• 1/2 cup salt

Heat the ingredients in a pot over medium heat, being sure to stir often. Be patient, it takes a while to start sticking.

Once it starts sticking together, remove from pan on a floured surface and knead.

If you find that you want a more tough dough, change the salt measurement to 3/4 cup.

Keep an airtight bag or container.

Playdough is a great option for filling Easter baskets or for Easter egg hunts.

If you are not interested in making your own playdough you can always pick it up for a decent price at your local dollar store.

You can also pick up cookie cutters, fun plastic eggs, placemats for playing on and so much more!

I hope you all have an enjoyable Easter.
