Homemade play doh, silly putty

PLAY DOH

Kids are amazed when they learn how easy it is to make play dough with this activity.
Recipe 1
3 cups flour
1.5 cups salt
6 tsp. cream of tarter
3 tbsp. oil
3 cups water

Pour all ingredients into a large pot. Stir constantly over medium heat until a dough ball forms by pulling away from the sides. Knead dough until the texture matches play dough (1-2 minutes). Store in plastic container. Should last for at least 3 months.

SILLY PUTTY

1 Cup Elmer's glue
2 1/2 Cup liquid starch
Food coloring
In a bowl, mix glue and one cup of the starch together. Stir in a few drops of food coloring, if you wish. Cover bowl, and live it overnight. The following day slowly stir in with a spoon 1 to 1 1/2 cups of the starch until a big blob forms. Pour off extra starch. Store in an air tight container

Hope you have fun and enjoy making these.
