Description
Engage your creativity and fine motor skills by crafting a fun Play-Dough Skeleton, perfect for Halloween-themed activities and family bonding.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup salt
- 2 cups water
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons cream of tartar
- Food coloring (optional)
- Cookie cutters (skeleton shapes or your own designs)
- Rolling pin
- Baking sheet (for drying)
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, combine the flour, salt, cream of tartar, and vegetable oil. Gradually add water and mix until smooth.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir continuously until the mixture thickens and forms a ball (about 3-5 minutes). Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Once cool enough to handle, knead the dough for a minute or two until smooth and pliable.
- Roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thick using a rolling pin. Use cookie cutters to cut out skeleton shapes.
- Place the cut shapes on a baking sheet and allow them to air dry for 24 hours, or bake them at a low temperature for a quicker option.
Notes
Consider adding scents or mixing colors to enhance your play-dough experience. The skeleton can also be accessorized with beads or googly eyes for added fun.
