March, In Like a Lion

This afternoon it rained, then snowed. An indoor day, filled with shamrock playdough. Bean is loving holidays right now. "We better make some green sparkled playdough soon for Leprechauns."

1 cup flour
1/2 cup salt
1 tablespoon cream of tartar
1 cup water
1 tablespoon cooking oil
Wiltons green food color
A toddler's handful of gold glitter

Mix in a saucepan on medium until it feels stiff. Cool and play!

The girl who painted trees said...: I love Wilton's food coloring. It is far superior to others for richness of color! We made "earth" chocolate playdough in celebration of Spring:); February 26, 2011 at 2:25 PM
Mommy Moment said...: What type of glitter do you use? Is it the "flake" type or the little dot kind?
Sorry if those are terrible descriptions.
