🧁 Family Playdough Recipe:

​

​

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup salt
2 tablespoons cream of tartar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1.5 cups warm water
Food coloring (optional)
 

​

Instructions for Parents

Invite your children to help you add the flour, salt, and cream of tartar into a large bowl

Let them take turns stirring so everyone feels included

Slowly add the oil and warm water while mixing together

When it begins to form, encourage your children to knead the dough with their hands

Use this time to talk about how the dough is being shaped as they work it

​

​

💬 Faith Moment

As they knead, gently share this scripture:

“Yet you, Lord, are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand.” — Isaiah 64:8

Explain in simple terms that just like they are shaping the dough, God shapes each of us with love and purpose

​

​

🫶 Activity Time

Let each child choose a color and knead it into their dough

Invite them to create something that represents who they are, what they love, or what they are thankful for

Ask them to share about what they made and why
