PLAY IDEA OF THE DAY
Make your own modelling clay
SUITABLE FOR AGES 5+
Clear an area you don't mind getting a little dirty and put on some old clothes. Remember the preparation is half the fun! Be prepared to make a mess... 1 cup plain flour half cup salt 2 tbsp cream of tartar 2 tbsp vegetable oil 1 cup water with food colouring added 1 tsp vanilla essence (optional but makes the play-dough smell nice) Put all the ingredients into a large saucepan, and stir over a medium heat until the dough forms into a ball. Allow to cool, and then knead until smooth. Store in an airtight container (Ziploc bag with the air pressed out is good). When ready to use, you will need a rolling pin and biscuit shape cutters. Have fun! NB. Play-dough is not for consumption for humans or animals.
