How Not to Make Playdough
We found a recipe for no-cook playdough that called for:
1-1/4 C. flour
1/4 C. salt
1-1/2 T. oil
1 C. boiling water
drops of food coloring
We made it, and found ourselves continuing to add flour to it to make it not sticky. And then, after playing with it for a while, it started to stick to fingers and the paper-covered table again. This led to us adding more flour, and hand washing, and finally, a big, huge mess. Obviously something went horribly wrong. We've made playdough with a similar quite successfully, but I've since lost the recipe. I guess we'll be back on the hunt for a good one ... a less messy one hopefully.
Man, I wish we didn't have wall-to-wall carpeting!!
