Under The Sea Ocean Homeade Playdough

Between being invited to Social Media on the Sand (it’s in beautiful Jamaica this year!) and planning a Finding Dory birthday party for my kids, anything ocean or beach themed is on my mind lately! Making homemade playdough was on our summer bucket list and I always forget how easy it is to make. The recipe below makes a big batch, I’d say big enough for at least four children to have a decent amount of playdough to play with. I picked up a few divided serving trays from the dollar store and filled each section with ocean themed objects like shells, rocks and blue gems. The kids had a blast not only helping to make the playdough, but also playing with their under the sea world. I’m always amazed at how much longer the kids will play with playdough they make themselves. 

INGREDIENTS

3 Cups Flour

1 1/2 Cups Salt

6 Teaspoons Cream of Tartar

3 Cups Water
