Homemade Play-doh

The little girls and I needed to do something different now that the weather has turned so cold.  So I tried my hand at homemade play-doh!  It was great because it makes a huge amount, it smells great, and is super soft so it's easy for little hands to play with!  
Here's the recipe I used:
1 c. flour
1 c. water
1/4 c. salt
2 T. oil
1 T. cream of tartar
1 pkg jell-o

 Mix all ingredients together and cook over low on stove.  Stir frequently.  Use whisk to get rid of clumps.  cook 5-7 min, stirring with spatula.  Once dough starts to gather into a ball and doesn't stick to your fingers, then take it off stove.

Once it cools a minute, knead it on a cutting board.  Store in small ziploc containers.


Happy play-dohing!
