My youngest daughter, Sierra, is in preschool this year (sigh … how the time flies…). Her preschool teacher brings great homemade play dough for the kids to play with in class. Actually, she says her husband makes it (what a great guy!). He adds food coloring and flavoring (for scent only) to each batch. Around Thanksgiving, the kids had pumpkin play dough, and around Christmas, they had gingerbread. He’s also made mint, grape, bubblegum and cherry. You get the idea.

The dough turns out very nice — not too hard, great color and great smell! Try it for yourself, and let me know what kind you made and how you liked it!

Mr. Keye’s No-Cook Play Dough

• 2 cups boiling water
• 2 1/2 cups flour
• 1/2 cup salt
• 3 tablespoons cooking oil
• 1 tablespoon cream of tarter

Place all dry ingredients into a mixing bowl. Make sure the water is at a rapid boil. Add food coloring and flavor directly to water, and mix water with dry ingredients. Once mixed, sprinkle some extra flour onto countertop and kneed the dough, adding flour as needed to keep it from getting too sticky. Once the dough has cooled, store in an airtight container.
