With the "school year" rolling around again I thought i would post my favorite recipe for homemade play dough! In our house, as you may know, we do things the gluten free way, but this recipe can be used with just plain ol' all purpose flour!
So here you are...
CROCK POT GLUTEN FREE PLAY DOUGH
-2 Cups g/f flour (I've used may different types and they all turn out the same, if you are not gluten free you can use plain all purpose flour)
-1 Cup corn starch
-1 Cup salt
-1/4 cup cream of tarter
-2 Cups hot water
-2 teaspoons cooking oil (not a typo! that's all the oil you need)
-food coloring
-Plug in your crock pot and turn to low to warm up slowly.
-Dump in your dry ingredients; stirring evenly to distribute.
Add the water and oil. Add in food coloring to the color you desire (the kids enjoy doing this part and making different colors). Close the lid and switch the heat to high.
Set a timer and check your play dough every 30 min, stirring well each time. My crock pot is newer so the play dough only cooks for me usually 30 minutes to an hour, but for some it can take up to 2 hours. It will be hot when it's done... once it's cooled down WALLA... homemade crock pot play dough... super easy and so much fun! Oh and GLUTEN FREE :)
If the dough is a bit sticky.. knead in some cornstarch and you'll be good to go!
I had a series of pictures to put up, but the computer isn't letting me uplaod them, so you'll just have to trust me, that this works :)
