JELLO PLAY DOUGH
Today we made play dough with the little ones. This is such a simple activity to do with toddlers but its one activity they never get tired of! Im thinking of tweaking this recipe a bit and incorporating sand so the kids can build sand castles! (in the yard of course) When we get around to that I will let you know how that goes. Stay tuned!…
Play dough with Jello You will need: 1 cup white flour 1 cup warm water 2 Tbsp salt 2 Tbsp cream of tartar 2 Tbsp cooking oil 1 (3oz pkg) Jello
Directions:
Mix all of the ingredients together in a small saucepan until most of the lumps are gone.
Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously until it thickens into a ball of dough.
Once it has finished cooking, place the dough onto a floured cutting board and wait for it to cool.
Once it is cool (at least 20-30 minutes) let the little ones knead it, adding in flour until it is no longer sticky (about 1/2 cup). At this point, you can add in extra food coloring to make the colors more vibrant, or even add glitter. We didn’t add any food coloring I thought it looked good with just the Jello.
When you are finished playing, store in the refrigerator in an airtight container or ziploc bags. It will keep for at least a few weeks in the refrigerator, with daily use. If at any time it starts to be a little sticky, just add more flour.
Hope you and your little ones enjoy making and playing with this play dough!
This is a great activity to have the kids help with the "cooking" and so much fun to play with after! I will warn you though, this dough smells really tasty! Just like the other recipes we use, its safe if the kids do end up trying to eat it. I hope you enjoy making this fun jello play dough with your little ones! Let me know what you think!
