How do I Make Play Dough for Groundhog’s Day
Well, we start by hunting and gathering around the kitchen. JDaniel loves to help gather together all the ingredients.
1 1/2 cups of salt
1/4 cup of vegetable oil
Later in the day we had one of the little boys next door come over to play. I took out our animal cookie cutters. We ended up with all kinds of chocolate shadow creatures. I believe there were even a couple of groundhogs.
Did you already know how to make play dough?

How fun for the kids! I made play dough for my kids and then for my granddaughter — I think my recipe might have been a bit different though… I haven’t made it in years so I don’t remember!

I bet it smells good with the cocoa powder!My complaint with most play dough type things is that they smell so yucky. This would certainly solve that issue! Awesome!

Fun idea. Personally I’d like the cookies with peanut butter in them… :>)
Judy SheldonWalker says
I spent many enjoyable hours as a child playing with homemade play dough but never with cocoa or peanut butter.

When my kids were little, I used a different recipe for play dough that you cook. Texture is very much like the bought play dough, and keeps well for quite awhile. 1 cup flour, 1 cup water, 1/2 cup salt, 2 tsp. cream of tarter, 1 tbsp cooking oil, food coloring and flavoring optional. Mix dry ingredients in heavy metal saucepan. Add oil and water. Cook THREE minutes on medium/high setting or until mix pulls away from side of pan. Knead – Mixture will appear lumpy and will be quite warm to touch. Store in air tight containers – in or out of refrigerator. Keeps several weeks.

Hey, I like to play with play dough too:) Was thinking that maybe this would be a good recipe for my 2 daughters, who don’t like that normal Play-doh getting into everything! Thanks!
Jenny says
