Making Play-Doh

Abang and I just LOVE to play with play-doh and we're always asking babah to buy us new pots at every visit to Bebeland. I think mama's been ingau about spending too much on this so she looked up on how to make our own and that's what we did yesterday! And we are here to teach you...

You need a cup of flour, a cup of salt, a cup of water(not pictured), a tablespoon of vegetable oil (also not pictured), a tablespoon of cream tartar and colourings!

This is our step by step guide:

1. Pour the flour into a bowl (that's me pouring!)


2. Then pour a cup of salt (fine salt)- and that's abang seriously pouring:

3. Put in a tablespoon of tartar cream and stir the mix:


4. Get a cup of water from the tap and pour into the mix:

5. Mix in the vegetable oil and put into a pot and quickly simmer it over low heat until the mix becomes sticky:

6. Once they're cool, roll them up into balls and start to put colouring in them and blend the colours into the balls:

THERE YOU HAVE IT! PLAY DOH! (The blue one is bigger cos we had to use two balls cos abang poured too much blue colouring!)

And then we play with it!

Here I am making spaghetti and cupcakes!


And now whenever they get dry, we just make new ones! Saves time and money to not have to go to Bebeland anymore!
