In an earlier blog I explored different homemade play dough recipes, but I've discovered some GREAT natural coloring ingredients for safe-to-eat (though not very tasty, LOL) play dough for your little one!
A quick reminder of one play dough recipe:
1 cup flour, 3/8 cup salt, 1 tablespoon vegetable oil...and any of the following natural dyes:
BROWN: 3/8 cup plus one tablespoon hot water and 4 tablespoons cocoa powder
FUCHSIA: 3/8 hot beet juice (you can use the liquid from a can of beets)
ORANGE: 3/8 cup hot water and 1 tablespoon paprika
YELLOW: 3/8 cup hot water and 1 teaspoon turmeric
Make sure you store your play dough in an airtight container in the refrigerator!

Incredible job on your blog; keep it up.
