Nothing Like Good Ol' DOH!

It was a tantrum filled morning and I needed an activity QUICK! Momma had a lot to do today while baby naps so nothing like good ol' DOH to entertain the preschooler!

​Prepped in just 3 minutes, this DOH (yes I know, actually spelled dough) was a complete HIT! It started with a few days prior when I made home made pizza and I let Noah jump in and help to roll out the pizza dough... I instantly knew I had a hit activity!

Quick prep and instant toddler fun! Threw a few play dough tools at him, a few shape blocks from our shape sorter set and his imagination went wild!

OK, maybe I helped with imagination a bit...

​Wouldn't believe it, but he spent 5 hours with his DOH! Bonus, I put it into a container in the fridge and used it for a few days! Here's the recipe:

• 2 1/2 cups (350g) plain flour
• 2 3/4 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tbsp oil
• 3/4-1 cup (170-225ml) water
  ​  

1. Mix the dry ingredients together in a bowl (flour, baking powder and salt). Add the oil and 3/4 cup (170ml) water then stir until it forms a ball.
2. If dough is stiff, add more water. It should be soft, but not sticky.
3. Knead on floured surface for 2 minutes.​
