If you have young Smurf fans at home, today’s craft will catapult you to Awesome Adulting Status! This homemade play dough smells amazing, is simple to make, and fun to play with! The little’s in your life are going to love it! Let’s dive right in 🙂
You’ll need: All Purpose Flour, Salt, Water, Vegetable Oil, Cream of Tartar, blue jello powder, and red jello powder.
1. Add the flour, salt, water, oil and cream of tartar to a Dutch oven or large pan.
2. Place pan on the stove over medium heat, stirring constantly until a stiff ball of dough forms and you can stir no longer (3-4 minutes).
3. Remove the dough from the pan and place it on your working space. Knead the dough for 1-2 minutes while it is still warm. Allow it to cool for 5 minutes.
Separate the dough into 3 even sections. Set aside one section to use as white playdough. Place the remaining 2 sections into separate mixing bowls. Add the jello powders (red and blue, exact amounts are in printable recipe at bottom of this post) to each bowl along with a teaspoon of water.
Knead until the color is evenly distributed – gloves are a great idea unless you want tinted hands. 🙂
The smell of the scented dough is amazing!
