Easy Playdough Recipe


I made some glitter playdough for my daughter's birthday party. I was amazed at how easy it was to make and I wished that I would have found it sooner. I was going to make some for each of my students but I just don't have to time or energy

4 C all purpose flour
2 C non-iodized salt (not sure what that is but I used sea salt)
4 C water (add your food coloring to the water before you add it to the flour)
8 tsp cream of tartar
4 tbsp cooking oil

Cook and stir on med-low. Stirring while it heats up. Careful not to burn. When it is a big glob (meaning you cant stir it anymore)), put it on your counter. Then start kneading glitter in as you knead the dough. The more you knead the softer it gets. Put it in a sealed container when finished. It made 9 good size sandwich baggies.


Email me and let me know if you tried it! It was freaking awesome.

Sorry no pictures. I have been so busy this week to a point where I am sure to have a nervous breakdown. First, I have a student teacher in my room over the next 10 weeks. I thought it would be a welcome relief to give her things to teach but I am more exhausted and it is tiring work. Then grades had to be put in and it was down over the Christmas break so I had a huge pile to get in. Parent teacher conferences were on Thursday. I didn't meet with alot. I met with most of my students'  parents. The one that I wanted to talk to of course didn't show. My own children are doing great in class. Brayden is started to read more and more each day. He is reading near the end of his grade level. Lyndee knows all of her alphabet and sounds. They finally let her check out a library book. Yippee! Sometimes I wish that they would treat Kindergarten with more rigor toward the middle of the year to get them ready for first. Just my opinion. My house is feeling very neglected and wil...

Day 5 -- Vacation

On Wednesday, our last day in the land of the heat. We went to the Mesa Southwest Museum. I guess it is call the Museum of Natural History. In all my years living in the valley and in Eagar, we never went to this museum. It rocked! I wished that I could take my students there. This room was all black with flourescent lighting. The kids could write on those white board with light wands. Whatever the kids wrote would be gone in about 20-30 seconds. It was pretty cool. I loved the interactive the stuff. I have been wanting to do this for years with my classroom. I have wanted them to create their plays. Then act them out in front of a green screen and then use a computer program to put their scenery in. I think I am going to find a grant and write one! Sister Lou loved being on T.V. We would couldn't drag this little starlet off it. Isn't this cute? They got behind the TV and now they are projected into an old western. They had a part of the old territorial prison in th...
