As I look at the calendar, with winter stretching on for the next few months, I am determined not to let cabin fever get the best of us. Which means I’ve been filling up my ‘mama school’ board on pinterest with all sorts of indoor activities that Burke and Pi might like.

Before we start on those, I wanted to try Jordan’s favorite playdough recipe. Jordi and her girls love this recipe, so I had high hopes that Burke and Piper Jane would love it as well.

And it did not disappoint! If you are looking for an indoor, perfect-for-winter activity, this playdough recipe is it friends.

To make this most fabulous playdough, help your children measure and mix in a sauce pan-
2 C. flour
1/2 C. salt
2 C. water
2 Tbsp oil
1/4 C cream of tartar
a few drops of food coloring

Give your Smooches a snack and send them to the table to wait as you –
Place the pan over medium heat and stir until dough is completely formed and no longer sticky. It doesn’t take long – keep stirring! Allow it to cool before dumping it out for your patiently not-so-patiently waiting kiddos.

Do you have any tried and true cabin-fever-fender-offers? We’d love suggestions!

ps- Kelli– thanks for passing this recipe along to Jord once upon a time!
