Playdough~
First let me explain something, each of our daycare children have their own assigned color: red, blue, green ,teal, orange, pink, yellow, and purple. We use these colors for everything possible (sippy cups, wash cloths, plates, bowls, silverware, band aids...etc). It's become kinda fun to try to match colors to children.
Today is our little purple girl's second birthday. For her little party here at daycare, we made homemade playdough. Pretty purple playdough that is, with a lovely light lavender scent.
1 cup flour
2 tsp. cream of tartar
1/2 cup salt
1 cup water
1 tbsp. oil
Purple food coloring
5 drops of lavender oilMix dry ingredients; add wet. Cook low until ball forms. Knead until cool. Add flour if sticky.
The children love to make and play with playdough (especially the scented kind). We've also made chocolate, using cocoa powder instead of food coloring and lavender oil.
