Homemade Play dough

If your Memorial Day weekend was as busy and active as mine was then everyone might be in need of a quiet day at home. One of our favorite things to do on a lazy day at home is play with play dough. I have a couple of recipes for play dough that I've made many times. Enjoy!

Favorite Cooked Play dough
2 cups water
1/2 cup salt
Combine the salt and water then boil until dissolved. Add a few drops of food coloring.
While the mixture is still very hot add the following:
2 tablespoons oil
2 tablespoons alum or cream of tarter
2 cups flour

Peanut Butter Play dough
2 1/2 cups of peanut butter
2 tablespoons honey
2 cups powdered milk
Mix the peanut butter and honey well and then add powdered milk until the dough is soft but not sticky. This play dough is edible.
