Whippin' Up a Little Playdough {with a Freebie}

Ahhh playdough! I love playdough and I especially love the home-made stuff, but I just don't have the time to whip up a fresh batch that often.... problem solved with my Playdough Kit!

Ta-da!! This little tote has all the ingredients {except water and oil} needed to make playdough!

I tell the parents about it in the beginning of the year and they will take it home and whip it up for our class. And many times they make a little batch to keep at home, too! To be honest, the kids love taking this home that I end up having parents ask beg me to take the kit home when there is zero need for anymore dough...that's okay... Take it! Make some for your home!

Here is what you need:

-A caddy of some sort to hold everything {I got this one at Michael's"} and I went with the old school paint pen decorating option as opposed to some Cricut action {or Silhouette if you are one of the lucky ones!}
Then I added a little washi tape for good measure.
-salt
-cream of tartar {the most random ingredient}
-flour... and let me say- most people use their own flour and I rarely have to replenish this bag, but I keep it in there just in case
-food coloring {missing from the picture}
-Gallon size Ziploc bags or whatever container you want the parents to return the dough in
I don't include water or oil. Obviously people have water at home and to be honest, they have oil too and it is just too messy to be in the kit.
-the recipe itself

Later I will be sharing all the wonderful playdough activities that I use in the beginning of the school year!
