Shamrock Playdough

Shamrock Playdough For Toddlers Preschool Kindergarten Fine Motor Development
I made shamrock playdough for our upcoming shamrock theme next week.  I used my favorite recipe and just added a couple of extra ingredients. 

To make the playdough you will need:

1 cup of flour
1 cup of water
1/4 cup of salt
2 tsp of cream of tartar
1 tbs of cooking oil
6-8 drops food coloring
2-3 drops of mint extract
gold glitter (stirred in after I took the pan of the burner)

You just mix the ingredients together and cook over medium heat. It only takes a few minutes before it forms a lump of dough. You will need to stir the mixture continuously to prevent it from burning. Remove the dough from the pan and let it cool. You can then squish and squeeze it until it forms a playdough consistency. Store the dough in an air tight container.

I purchased gold jumbo glitter at walmart and I really like the way it added sparkle to the dough. I was going to use regular glitter until I saw the jumbo glitter.  I was worried that the glitter would fall out of the dough and get all over but that did not happen.

The mint extract made the dough smell really yummy and I was really pleased with how the dough turned out.  Besides free play we will be using the shamrock playdough with a mat that I will have available next week so keep and eye out for that!!

They may also be at your local craft store if you have one near by.
