Anyway, today i thought id give playdough a go, ive never made it before but it worked out really well. Jet's probably a bit to young for it, but he had fun mushing it with this rubber hammer thingy he nicked from granddad's tools & one of my kitchen utensils (actually, its one of his, since that's really all he likes playing with i bought a set for him!)
Here's the recipe for anyone that's interested:
Ingredients
1/2 cup salt
1 cup flour
1 tbsp oil
2 tbsp cream of tartar
1 cup cold water
Food colouring
Method
1.Mix everything together in a non-stick saucepan, adding the water a little at a time.
2.Cook over low heat while stirring. When the mixture starts to congeal and leave the sides of the saucepan, turn out onto a floured board.
3.Knead until smooth.
It will keep in the fridge in an airtight container for a very long time.
Just a tip, don't do what i did & make it then separate it into batches to colour, cause you end up with....well...this:
& food colouring takes quite a while to wash off, my hands were that colour most of the day :D
