Making dough

Today I made play dough. I had never made it before today, and I have been wanting to try. One batch was made with the good salt. That adds a sparkly speckle to the batch. One batch wasn't enough. Why did I think it would be? I made a second batch with cheap white salt and added a pinch of cocoa for color/scent. The kids are having a good time outside with it. J isn't out there. Oh well.

We will definitely be making this again. It's easy enough for one of the big kids to make. bonus! Maybe I will look for some natural colors at WF next month so we have something besides off white speckle and light tan.

The recipe came from clumsycrafter.com

• 1 tablespoon coconut oil
• 1/2 cup salt
• 1 cup flour
• 1 cup water
• 2 tsp. cream of tartar

Melt oil. Mix the rest. Stir until the dough comes together and gets stiff enough to break your wrist. Let cool a bit and knead. Pass to kiddles.
