Doh!!

Play doh to be exact!! Annie Joy has discovered play dough in a big way just recently. We have just got back from toddler group & she spent most of her time playing with the play dough. They use 'my' play dough recipe (thanks Mum!) at toddler group & so does the school nursery! And so I thought I would share it with you all too in case you fancy giving it a go.
1 cup of water
1 cup of plain flour
1/2 cup of salt
2 tablespoons cream of tartar
1 tablespoon of oil
Food colouring
Glitter (if you fancy sparkling play dough!)
Put all the ingredients in a pan & stir over a medium heat until it forms a dough. Knead it really well & either play with it straight away or keep it in an air tight box in the fridge. It last for ages & is great fun to use!!
PS Timmy & Annie Joy are actually playing with some shop bought play doh that Auntie Helen & Uncle Ian gave them at Easter. The children can often be seen at the kitchen table playing with play dough while I cook the tea. The extruder Timmy is playing with is affectionately called Mr Brick (Luke named him!) :o)
