Happy New year! Let's have fun :)

You can discover more about a person in an hour of play, than in a year of conversation.” – Plato

Become popular with a child in your life. Learn how to make faces, and playdough.
 Homemade Playdough

2 cups flour                     1 tbs cream of tartar
1 cup salt                         food coloring (optional)

Get a medium-large sized pot and turn stovetop on high. Add the salt and when the air starts to smell salty you know know the salt is hot, quickly add the flour and tartar, one cup of water and stir vigorously.  Add another 1/2-1 cup of water (if needed) and continue stirring. Remove from heat when the dough is pulling away from the sides of the pot and sticking to spoon (this should really only take 30 seconds). Turn onto a floured surface and knead until the consistency is right. Separate into two peices and add food coloring of choice.

I'm looking forward to sharing a wonderful New Year with you all!

Warmly, Lara
