Homemade Play-Doh Recipe

This isn't my normal couponing post, but it can save you money! In my house Play-Doh doesn't last long. My daughter's Play-Doh hardly ever stays on the craft table and usually ends up in little pieces, dried up on the floor. Yes, Play-Doh is messy but oh so fun! Today I decided it would be fun to try and make our own Play-Doh! Here's a good recipe for homemade Play-Doh that I found. My daughter had so much fun cooking it (very easy), as well as playing with it, so be sure you get the kids in the kitchen with you to help you make it. The best part is, it's ready to go in minutes!   


Play-Doh 

• 1 cup of all purpose flour
• 1 cup of water
• 1/2 cup of salt
• 1 tbsp of oil - any oil will do
• 2 tbsp of cream of tartar
• 1/8 to 1/4 tsp of food coloring

Mix all the ingredients into a pan and blend with a whisk. When all ingredients are blended, place the pan on the stove on medium to medium-high heat. You will need to mix continually until the mixture thickens. It may take 3 to 4 minutes. When the mixture starts to clump and is difficult to mix, take the pan off the stove. Pour the dough on a floured surface and when it is cool enough to handle start kneading like bread dough. Remove from the floured surface when the dough is no longer sticky. Knead away from the floured surface until all the flour on the dough is absorbed and the dough is smooth and pliable. You're done! To store keep in plastic wrap, a plastic bag, or Tupperware.

Excuse the ugly color. That "green" is the result of all the food coloring colors mixed together. My daughter wanted ALL the colors in there. Anyway, hope you try out this fun activity with the kids. They'll love it and you'll end up saving yourself some money! I personally will never waste money buying Play-Doh again. I'll just make it from home! However, I will insist on a better color next time. ;) 


Thanks to Recipes From Home for the Play-Doh recipe!

Run Like a Mother

I've been reading this book called "Run Like a Mother". It's funny and inspiring. If you have kids and enjoy running ... or if you've always wanted to enjoy running but need some motivation to get started, then I think you'll like this book! Here's a funny part from the book to give you a sneak peek:


"Ultra-stud Dean Karnazes may be able to run 50 marathons in 50 states in 50 days, but can he do this?


1. Give birth.

2. Continue running, shoving in workouts whenever there’s a sliver of time: during a soccer practice; in between breastfeeding sessions; hours before the sun rises; after jamming on a work deadline; before volunteering for the school auction.
(Our bet: We probably would’ve already lost him by now.)

3. Write a book.

4. Decorate a minivan.

5. Organize a house schedule—fill the fridge; organize the sitters; arrange for playdates; make sure laundry is done (extra points for it being folded); make lists of what goes in whose lunch; re-arrange the carpool— so that he can extricate himself for a night or two to go on tour.

6. Shave legs and pits, pluck eyebrows, don’t forget the under-eye concealer, put together a few outfits that aren’t stretched out, stained, or bought in a previous century, and hit the road.

Suddenly, 1,310 nearly consecutive miles sounds kinda easy, right?

Okay, maybe not."

Anyway, I love her. There's the link to the right. Good read!
