Our Craft Bazaar
Dec. 10, 2007 • 5:02 PM
Saturday's Homeschool Children's Craft Bazaar was a lot of fun! We sold a good bit. The kids enjoyed setting it up and running the stand. It was nice to talk with the other moms too and shop!
Our most popular item was our homemade playdough. We totally sold out of the Gingerbread Playdough. The lady who bought the last of it said she would have bought a lot more if we had it because she was doing a gingerbread class and thought the kids could also have this play dough then. We sold most of our candy cane play dough too.
We will have to make some more this week as my kids really want some to play with and it is easy and fun to make! I got the recipes from another blogger at Our Journey Westward. I modified them slightly. Scroll down if you want my recipes!
Here is Precious and Panda helping me "knead" the play dough!
Homemade Scented Play Dough: Seasonal
Gingerbread Playdough
5 1/2 c flour
2 c salt
8 tsp cream of tartar
3/4 c oil
4 c water
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ginger
1/8 tsp nutmeg
1/8 tsp allspice
Mix ingredients together. Cook over medium-low heat and stir until lumps disappear. Knead dough on floured surface until nice consistency. Add some green and red food coloring to get more of a brown color. (I also added some extra spices for more fragrance!)
Store in airtight container.
Peppermint Playdough
2 c water
2 c flour
1 c salt
4 tsp cream of tartar
4 Tbsp oil
4 Tbsp peppermint extract
red food coloring
glitter
Mix ingredients together. Cook over medium-low heat and stir until lumps disappear. Knead dough on floured surface until nice consistency. Add the glitter while kneading! Store in air tight container!

What an awesome idea! How long will the dough keep? I am assuming by the ingredients, that it is okay for those darlings who like to put things in their mouths? I have never made play dough before although I have lots of recipes. how neat to use these two recipes!
