homemade edible ‘play doh’ … who knew?!

4 ingredients and 5 mins …

so who knew that we could all be making edible ‘playdoh’ for our little bambinos! well I certainly didn’t until earlier this week at my fantastic BusyLizzy class, Baby Picassos.

here’s the recipe …

1 cup salt
1 1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup water
2 Tablespoons oil
A few drops of food colouring – au naturale if possible!

then simply mix it all together and voila, edible playdoh!

to make your own natural food colourings try these ideas for all colours of the rainbow … and if you use the juice options, simply add less water to the original recipe above.

red – redcurrant juice, pomegranate juice, beetroot juice
orange – carrot juice, paprika
yellow – ground turmeric, saffron
green – spinach juice, spirulina
blue – red cabbage juice
purple – purple carrot juice, blueberry juice
brown – espresso, coco powder
black – squid ink
