For Design and technology, our kids made a HOMEMADE PLAYDOUGH. They love it. I love it as well! It brings out the child in me. LOL.
This playdough is safe because it is toxic free. It is made from ingredients we usually used for cooking and baking. One of my students even tasted the mixture while stirring it.
This is a good stuff for our kids specially the kinaesthetic ones. This will also enhance their imagination, improve their motor skills and knowledge in craft.
Ingredients:
1 cup of all-purpose flour
1 cup of water
1/2 cup of salt
1 tablespoon oil
2 tablespoons of cream of tartar
1/4 teaspoon food coloring
Procedure:
1. Measure all ingredients.
2. Pour all the ingredients in one bowl.
3. Stir until the mixture has a fine texture.
4. Cook it over a moderate heat for 2 to 4 minutes.
5. Put the playdough on a table or bowl dried and coated with flour.
6. Let it cool down.
7. Time to play dough!
Go try this! It’s easy. Your going to love it.

I will surely do this one when my daughter can appreciate play dough already. I like it, it’s colorful, it would be a perfect bonding for us. And yes, this improves the motor skill of the young ones.
Wow, this is fun, I should try this with my niece and nephew one of these days. I just hope we follow the right procedure. hehehe

This is really helpful, Mitch! I will try this when the little girl’s at home for the summer vacation. 🙂

I have been meaning to make a homemade play dough with my two year old but I guess this summer will do that.
Hi Mitch! I also have a homemade play dough recipe on my blog. It is quite fun to make. I think I enjoyed the process more than my little kid did. Activities like these give us an excuse to be kids again.
Yup..brings out the child in us. The colors are great. They look yummy. LOL
I remember making home made play dough when I was in fourth grade. I was frustrated, because mine ended up runny! I guess I put too much water in the mixture :). Yes, that’s an excellent activity for kids.
