What child doesn't love play dough? Beyond the educational value when making shapes, letters, and numbers, and imaginative play, play dough is excellent for fine motor skills. Plus, it is super easy and inexpensive to make at home! We like the texture a lot better than the purchased option. In our opinion, this is by far the best recipe.
Ingredients:1 cup flour
1/2 cup salt
1 cup water
1 tablespoon oil
1 tablespoon cream of tartar
food coloring
Directions:
Mix all ingredients in a sauce pan.
Cook and stir over low/medium heat until play dough is completely formed and no longer sticky.
Allow to cool slightly before storing in an air tight container or zip lock bag.
Make several colors for a great fine motor activities!
