Scented Holiday Playdoh


I have to smile at this picture because I did them seperately but if your kids are anything like mine they get mixed almost as soon as they get their hands on it. 

I absolutely love this recipe for playdoh because it smells greats and stays soft forever! It's not edible though so if your little ones still eat everything stay close. 

SCENTED HOLIDAY PLAYDOH
1 1/2 cups flour
3/4 cup salt
1 Tbsp cream of tarter
3 oz jello (see note below)
1 1/4 cup water
2 Tbsp oil
Food coloring
2 tsp extract or spices for scent (optional)
Glitter (optional)

• CINNAMON APPLE (RED): red jello, red food color, cinnamon
• SUGAR COOKIE (WHITE): 1/4 cup or 3 oz unflavored gelletin, almond extract
• HOLIDAY SPICE (GREEN): green jello, green food color, ground clove, orange extract

In a medium mixing bowl combine dry ingredients with a wire whisk. Add water, oil, food coloring and extract. In a medium saucepan over med heat cook stirring with a plastic spatula until a semi-stiff ball forms and is no longer liquidy. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and allow to cool for several minutes. Knead until smooth and store in an air tight container or ziplock bag. 

***This is a fun gift to give!!! Layer the dry ingredients in mason jar and attach the instructions and a holiday cookie cutter with fun holiday ribbon!
