Welcome to 5th Avenue Cookie Art Academy’s  lessons for children, all kinder cookie art lessons are free to help teach 3-7 year olds through creative play while  decorating cookies! I realize with #StayHome and schools closed it can become difficult to continue to develop exciting activities with the items in your home; therefor my daughter (Early Childhood Special Education Teacher) and I will be sharing a series of lessons to help you and your child stay engaged as days turn weeks and idea run thin! Of course any age can create this cookie!
All the supplies used may be found in your household!

Here is a short video showing the tools needed;

Play Dough Recipe:
2 cups white flour
1/4 cup cream of tartar
1/2 cup salt
2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cups water
Food coloring you may use Kool-Aid if you do not have food paste or food coloring
Kool-Aid
You could also add scented extracts (almond, lavender, or vanilla) to give your dough a scent.
Start by mixing the dry ingredients in a medium size pot.
Next, you can add the water, oil, and your food coloring of choice to the pot.
Then, mix the ingredients together thoroughly. Cook your mixture on medium heat, stirring continually. When a ball forms in the middle of the pot, remove from heat. Allow time for the dough too cool.
Then you’ll want to knead the dough as necessary .
To ensure that the dough lasts for a long time, store it in an airtight container.
