Valentine's Day Play Dough

I realize this is nothing new here but just wanted to share how we kicked off Valentine's Day week! And perhaps by chance you haven't seen this done before. :)

  Play Dough Recipe 

- 1/2 cup salt 
- 1 cup of water
- 2 Tb cream of tartar
- 1 cup of flour
- 1 Tb oil
- red food coloring
- peppermint extract (for minty smell)

Mix all the ingredients together, stir well.
Cook on medium heat for about 5 minutes. Stir often.
Remove from heat and knead until desired consistency.


We added red sprinkles to the recipe as well!!


I included heart shaped cookie cutters as well as other play dough utensils/toys.

The play dough can be stored in the refrigerator in a concealed container and it should last for a good 6 months.  Enjoy!!
