Homemade Easter Playdough

Playdough is a very popular activity in our house. The girls love pretending and I often see them making pretend playdough cookies.

I saw some cute Easter cookie cutters at the dollar store and thought it would be fun to make a batch of homemade playdough just for Easertime fun.

The girls love playdough and I have made a few different kinds over the years.

Homemade Easter Playdough Recipe

• One packet Jello (or no-name brand) in the color of your choice
• One cup white flour
• 2 tablespoons cream of tartar
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 cup water
• 1/2 cup salt

Heat the ingredients in a pot over medium heat, being sure to stir often. Be patient, it takes a while to start sticking. Once it starts sticking together, remove from pan on a floured surface and knead.  If you find that you want a more tough dough, change the salt measurement to 3/4 cup.  Keep an air tight bag or container.

Playdough is a great option for filling Easter baskets or for Easter egg hunts. If you are not interested in making your own playdough you can always pick it up for a decent price at your local dollar store.

You can also pick up cookie cutters, fun plastic eggs, placemats for playing on and so much more!

I hope you all have an enjoyable Easter.
