Homemade Playdough
Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup of water
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1/3 cup salt
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
food coloring
Instructions:
Mix all the ingredients in a 2-quart saucepan.
Cook over low/medium heat, stirring.
Continue stirring until the mixture is thickened and begins to gather around the spoon.
Remove the dough onto wax paper or a plate to cool. Cool completely before storing it in a Ziplock bag or sealed container.
Bubble Painting
Materials:
Small bowls
Popsicle sticks (or spoons, for stirring)
Drinking straw
1 Tablespoon Water (per color)
1 Tablespoon Dish soap (per color)
1 Tablespoon Acrylic paint (per color)
White cardstock
Instructions:
Step 1: Gather your supplies and materials.
Step 2: Mix the color bubble mixture
Pour 1 Tablespoon of water into a small bowl.
Add an equal amount of dish soap into the water (1 Tablespoon).
Pour in another equal amount (1 Tablespoon) of paint into the bowl, creating an equal 1:1:1 ratio of water, dish soap, and paint.
Stir the mixture well, with a popsicle stick or spoon, until fully combined.
Step 3: Add bubble impressions to the paper
Put a drinking straw into the mixture. Keep your straw towards the bottom of the bowl and blow gently into the straw to create bubbles. Keep blowing until the bubbles overflow the top of the bowl.
Remove the straw and gently press the cardstock onto the colored bubbles. The bubbles disappear almost instantly!
Flip the cardstock back over to see the colored bubble impression on the paper.
Blow more bubbles and press a different part of the paper into the bubbles. Repeat as many times as you’d like with different colors.
