The local paper (Edmond Sun) this week had some fun recipes for Sidewalk Paint and No fuss Play Dough. My kids love playdough and they love to paint so we are going to try out the recipes this week. Plus, what's nice about these homemade recipes for fun is that the products are non-toxic and use ingredients that most people already have.
No Fuss Play Dough
1 cup cold water
1 cup salt
2 tsp vegetable oil
2 cups flour
2 tbs corn starch
food coloring
In a large bowl, mix together water, salt, oil and a few drops of food coloring. Mix flour and corn starch and add 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly (you may need a little more or a little less than 2 cups flour so make sure you stir until it is the right consistency. Knead for a few minutes with flour on your hands.
Sidewalk Paint
1/4 cup corn starch
1/2 cup water
food coloring
Combine the corn starch and water. Stir until you have worked any lumps out and have a nice smooth consistency. One option is to do this in cleaned yogurt or sour cream containers. Add food coloring and mix well. It's ready to be used for painting.
Have fun!
