Tonight, for the first time, Nia and I made playdough. We used the No-Cook Playdough recipe from Preschool Art by MaryAnn Kohl.
It was seriously fun, in the making and the playing. Nia is still playing with it -- that's 60 minutes of creative play!
So far she's made cookies, pizza, pasta, pancakes, sandwiches, snakes, balls, etc. "I'm Chef Nia!"
No Cook Playdough:
In a bowl mix together: 1 cup cold water, 1 cup salt (that's not a typo!), 2 tsp. oil, and either some food coloring or powdered Tempra paint. Or you can leave the dough white. Stir. Next, add 2 TBSP corn starch and 3 cups flour gradually till it reaches a bread dough consistency. Pour the dough out onto a surface and knead. Use the dough to model as with any clay. Enjoy!
