Play-doh

I don't know why this pregnancy has been so different than the last.  With Chase I felt so good at the end of pregnancy, but this time I just feel tired, and big, and tired, and achy, and tired!

I decided to take more advantage of the times when I have any amount of energy to really spend time with Chase, so today we made play-doh. 

It was really easy to make and we had everything on hand (although I don't have any salt anymore and I only made half). Here's the recipe if you want to give it a try:


Ingredients:

• 3 cups flour
• 1 cup salt
• 6 tsp cream of tartar
• 3 cups water
• 3 tbsp vegetable oil
• Food colouring

Directions:

Mix flour, salt and cream of tartar in a large saucepan. Blend water and oil in a bowl and add to saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens. Add several drops of food colouring until desired colour is formed. Cook for about 5 more minutes. Remove playdough from saucepan and knead for a few minutes, adding flour if its too sticky. This playdough will last about 3 months in an airtight container.
