cara-cara membuat homemade edible playdough (playdoh)

One day before I went back to Ipoh, we had this mini homemade playdoh project... I've never thought of it, until my sister in-law brought it up. Not only it is safe, edible (but it is reaaaaally salty) and fun, you can get the  kids to be involved in the making process too!

Ingredients :
2 cups flour
2 cups warm water
1 cup salt
2 tbsp oil
2 tbsp cream of tartar
food coloring

Methods
Combine all the ingredients together then stir it on low heat until it clumps and stick in the center of the pot.
Cool it so that you can knead the dough.
Knead the dough until desired consistency.
Colour the dough.

Senang kan? uli-uli saje.. Masa buat ni we don't have cream of tartar, but it turns out OK, sebab cream of tartar is optional actually.. Kalau masa buat tu tak jadi seperti di atas, just wait some more and keep cooking, it WILL become like this. ada juga orang bubuh gula so kids can really taste/eat them without gagging, tapi, kalau dah pakai gula tak ke satu kerja pulak kalau dah bersemut kan..

saya bahagikan kepada 4 portion dan warnakan. untuk coklat sebab muaz nak buat kuda guna serbuk koko je.haha. buat lubang di tengah doh, titiskan warna dan uli.. inshaAllah tak stain tangan, sebab dah uli, only concentrated coloring je yang akan stain tangan ni sebenarnya...


Kak ida kata she read somewhere that it helps kids motor development, I think I'd agree on that, sebab buat masa sekarang si kecil ni tak pandai lagi nak pegang soft things like this.. So, maybe soon he will learn how to deal with soft things without mashing them lah kan. okey...kuda tu nampak macam dinoso...

kepala kuda dah terpeleot...ala-ala makan rumput.. ini semua sebab kecik-kecik dulu tak dibagi main plastesin (tanah liat) secara intensif.

anyhow.. i think mak-mak kita mungkin tak berapa setuju with the idea guna makanan as mainan... tapi yang bestnya bila tengok budak-budak excited tunggu playdoh ni siap la kot... otherwise, pergi cosway je beli ade jugak playdoh yg safe ni... edible im not so sure.. one more thing, kalau kite buat tu cantik sangat, kita boleh bake terus model tu, syelek ( tak tau syelek tu cemane eja) dan boleh lah simpan sebagai kenang-kenangan.

selamat mencuba!

p/s : lepas main boleh simpan dalam air-tight container... tapi after few months it will start to smell, buat lain la pulak
