Childcare Playsession

I've been taking a childcare course at TAFE since February to get my certificate. This past Saturday, we had a playsession and we learned to make playdough and paint from scratch. Its so easy and cheap to make and most importantly, fun for kids and adults.

Here are the recipes:

playdough

cooked:

2 cups plain flour

1 cup salt

4 tbsp cream of tartar

2 tbsp oil

2 cups water

colouring (add color to water before pouring to mixture)

mix ingredients together and cook gently over low heat. stir all the time until it thickens.

uncooked:

4 cups flour

1 cup salt

1 tbsp oil

2 cups water

colouring (add color to water before pouring to mixture)

mix ingredients together. add flour if dough is sticky

PAINT

cornflour paste

add 2 cups cornflour and stir a small amount of cold water and mix til smooth, watery consistency (kindda like milk)

carefully and slowly add boiling water stirring continuously until thickens. mix til smooth paste. add color

ENJOY!!!
