Celebraing Easter:
Playdough in a Jar
This makes a very nice gift. One children can give to each other, or one that can be used in an Easter basket. Use pastel colored Kool-Aid for coloring this playdough.
Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup salt
2 tablespoons cream of tartar
1 or 2 packages of un-sweetened Kool-Aid type dring mix (depends on the color intensity you'd like)
For Cocoa Play Dough, don't add the Kool-Aid drink mix and substitute 1/2 cup of cocoa for 1/2 cup of the flour.
Directions:
Combine the dry ingredients in a jar or other container. Makes about 3 cups of dry mix.
Attach to Jar:
The Best Microwave Play Dough
Mix 2 cups of water, 2 tablespoons of baby oil, and 1 or 2 packages of the unsweetened Kool-Aid type drink mix in a bowl. Put the dry ingredients from this container in a microwave-safe bowl; add the liquid mixture and stir to mix together. Ask an adult to microwave on high for a total of about 4 minutes, stopping every 30 to 45 seconds to stir again. Stir each time until a ball forms. After the play dough is cool enough to touch you're ready to play!
*Store in the refrigerator in closed plastic bags or air-tight container when not in use.
*Add fine glitter to your dough for a festive affect.
*Pastel colors work really nice for the Easter season.
