Raspberry Playdough

My mum was kind enough to give us some frozen raspberries months ago, unfortunately no one in our household likes raspberries so after I made some muffins, roll ups and jam with them I decided to use the left overs to make some naturally dyed playdough.

 To invite Bubbles to play with the playdough I simply placed it in a Tupperware Dip container along with some confetti, sticks and glass rocks and seashells. Bubbles also added her favourite foam numbers and had great fun making number impressions in the playdough and filling them in with the rocks.

 Raspberry Playdough Recipe
Ingredients:
Approx. 1 cup of frozen raspberries

Method:
Begin by placing your frozen raspberries and water into a medium saucepan.
Bring to boil on medium heat and simmer (stirring constantly) until the liquid has reduced by half.
Remove from heat and strain liquid to remove raspberries.
Add plain flour, cream of tartar, salt and cooking oil to raspberry mixture.
Mix all ingredients in a saucepan.
Stir over medium heat for 3-5minutes or until the mixture congeals.
