Thunderstorms and homemade playdough

This week in Hong Kong, we have a typhoon watch! There was an amber alert yesterday with thunderstorm warning. It has been raining whales off and on. We all stayed home.

A day to make some playdough to play and it is great for sensory diet.

1 cup of all purpose flour
1/2 cup of salt
2 teaspoon of cream of tartar (this keeps the playdough fresh)

1 cup of water
2 tablespoon of oil (any type of cooking oil: olive, corn, coconut)
1 teaspoon of food coloring

Mix dry ingredients in sauce pan. Mix wet ingredients in bowl and then gradually pour and stir into dry mixture. Cook over medium heat to high heat and stir it constantly until it forms into a ball. Remove to cool on wax paper. Store in airtight container up to 6 weeks.

Simple and fun!
