I love how inexpensive and easy homemade play-dough is. And during the holidays, I love playing with new varieties of this childhood treat. This peppermint scented play-dough is perfect for Christmas and we've been enjoying it already.
Don't be intimidated by the cooking time. I used to worry that I'd burn it or my pans would never be the same. But it's a fool proof recipe that is easy to make.
Bonus: Play-dough's a great activity for the kids to do while you're making dinner, on the phone, or just trying to capture a few moments of peace and quiet. And it's occasionally fun for mom, too.

5 1/2 c. flour

8 tsp. cream of tartar

2-3 Tbsp. peppermint extract
