Crafts: DIY Play-doh



       Sophie is now at the age where she wants to touch and get into everything. I can't blame her, because she is at the age of discovering everything. I needed something to help occupy her time (while I make dinner), promote creativity, and that's an age appropriate sensory activity...so what better than Play-doh?!
       Why spend your money on  pricey store bought doh when you can make it at home?


Ingredients:

1 c. flour
1/4 c. salt
3 tsp. white wine vinegar
2 Tbs. olive oil
1/2 c. water
food coloring




Step 1:  Mix dry ingredients in a small sauce pan.

Step 2: Whisk in water on low heat. Then add the vinegar, followed by the oil. Continue to mix on low heat until dough consistency forms. (add slightly more flour if too oily)

Step 3: Add food coloring of choice. Kneed until well mixed.

Have fun playing!

To Store: Place doh in air tight container in fridge.
