How did I get this recipe?

I remember the sense of anticipation I felt when I first discovered this recipe for Edible Play Dough. It was a hot summer day, and I had my two young grandchildren over for a visit. As a grandmother who loves to cook and bake, I wanted to find a fun and creative activity for us to do together. Little did I know that this simple recipe would become a favorite among my grandchildren and their friends for years to come.

I first learned about Edible Play Dough from a dear friend of mine who was a preschool teacher. She had shared with me how she would make this fun and safe dough for her students to play with during their creative playtime. I was intrigued by the idea of being able to make a dough that was not only safe to eat but also easy to make with ingredients I already had in my pantry.

I gathered the necessary ingredients - flour, salt, cream of tartar, water, and oil - and set to work in my kitchen. The process was simple and straightforward, and soon enough, I had a smooth and pliable dough in my hands. The dough was soft and squishy, just like regular playdough, but with the added bonus of being completely edible.

As I watched my grandchildren play with the Edible Play Dough, my heart swelled with joy. They were using their imaginations to create all sorts of shapes and figures, from animals to cars to houses. I could see the joy and excitement in their eyes as they molded and shaped the dough, knowing that they could eat their creations afterward.

Over the years, I have made countless batches of Edible Play Dough for my grandchildren and their friends. I have tweaked the recipe here and there, adding different food coloring or extracts to create new and exciting flavors. Each time I make a batch, I am reminded of that hot summer day when I first discovered this recipe and the joy it has brought to so many children.

I have shared the recipe with other grandparents, parents, and even teachers, who have all raved about how simple and fun it is to make. It warms my heart to know that something as simple as a batch of homemade playdough can bring so much joy and creativity to children of all ages.

As I sit here reminiscing about that fateful day when I first discovered the recipe for Edible Play Dough, I am filled with gratitude for the simple pleasures in life. Cooking and baking have always been a passion of mine, but it is the joy and laughter of my grandchildren that truly make it all worthwhile. I am grateful for the memories we have created together, and I look forward to many more days of baking, cooking, and creating with them.

And so, I will continue to make batches of Edible Play Dough for my grandchildren and their friends, knowing that it will always hold a special place in our hearts. It is a simple recipe, but one that has brought so much joy and creativity into our lives. As long as there are little hands eager to mold and shape, I will be there with a fresh batch of Edible Play Dough, ready to be transformed into something magical.
