Homemade Fruity Play dough

This fruity play dough is a fun recipe/craft to do with your little ones. I made some with my son a few days ago and he LOVED it. It's a nice way to encourage your kid to help you in the kitchen and what is more fun than fruity play dough for a 3 year old?  

 You will need:
  • white flour – 1 cup
  • warm water – 1 cup
  • salt – 2 tbsp
  • cream of tartar – 2 tbsp
  • cooking oil – 2 tbsp
  • Jello any flavor – 1 3oz pack ( I used a store brand, it was half price)
Add all the ingredients together in a big bowl and mix them together until consistent and with a uniform color. Let your kids helping with the measuring and mixing even if it means a longer process and a lot more clean up. They can learn so much from helping in the kitchen, and it’s very fun for them. Pour into a pan and stir continuously over medium heat. Wait for it to thicken into a big ball and can't stir anymore. Let it cool for at least 20-30 minutes.  let the little ones help knead it and adding  flour until it is no longer sticky (about 1/2 cup total). 
It's time to play.
