Handmade Playdough in KB

In Kitah Bet we love to play with playdough. We shaped so many things from birthday cakes to birds nestS, challah, headbands, ABC letters and lots more.
We thought it would be fun to make our own playdough. Morah found a recipe and it turned out GREAT!
Our handmade playdough feels different from store bought playdough. It is softer and doesn't dry out as fast.

Here's the recipe:

2 cups plain flour (all purpose)

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1/2 cup salt

2 tablespoons cream of tartar

Up to 1.5 cups boiling water (adding in increments until it feels just right)

food coloring (optional)

Method:

Mix the flour, salt, cream of tartar and oil in a large mixing bowl
Add the boiling water
Stir continuously until it becomes a sticky, combined dough
Add the food colouring and glycerine (both optional)
Allow it to cool down then take it out of the bowl and knead it vigorously for a couple of minutes until all of the stickiness has gone. * This is the most important part of the process, so keep at it until it’s the perfect consistency!*
(If it remains a little sticky then add a touch more flour until just right)
Voila!
