We've been blessed with glorious sunshine the last 2 days, the kind of weather that makes me spring out of bed with a smile on my face. But this morning I awoke to the wind howling down the chimney and rain battering the window. I reached for my phone and checked the time, then lay in bed feeling my baby wriggling and kicking, willing myself to get up.
I trudged around feeling like a slug, this morning passed ever so slowly we did some painting and made some playdough, which turned out remarkably well! I have used this recipe once before and failed miserably as I didn't have the strength or the patience to kepp stirring the thick gloop. It ended in a sticky mess which went in the bin.
Play Dough
250g (8 1/2 oz) plain flour
500 ml (17 fl oz) water
140g (5 oz) salt
1 tbsp cream of tartar
1 tbsp sunflower oil
food colouring
 |
| Weigh out the flour |
 |
| Mix with water in a heavy based saucepan |
|
 |
| It will look very runny and you won't believe that it will make a dough |
|
 |
| Have patience! |
 |
| This is when the hard work begins! |
 |
| Once it's cooled, make a ball and squash it flat. |
 |
| Add food colouring paste (we only had black in) |
 |
| Knead until you have an even colour |
 |
| The end result! |
