As a working
mother I was
very pleased to
find a centre
that was open
on Saturdays to
bring my child
to. The
dedication of
professionalism
of the staff was
outstanding
and the facility
itself was clean
and bright.

Our Famous
Playdough Recipe:

1 cup all purpose flour
½ cup salt
2 tsp cream of tartar*
1 cup water
2 tbsp oil
food colouring

  • Blend flour, salt and cream of
    tartar.  
  • Add oil and food colouring to
    water, and combine the dry & wet
    ingredients in a non-stick skillet,
    stirring well.  Mixture will be very
    sticky.  
  • Cook on medium heat, keeping the
    dough in motion so it does not
    burn. (It’s done when  it’s no longer
    sticky and the surface becomes
    kind of shiny)
  • Knead while it cools.

It’s undercooked if it remains sticky or
overly oily.
* Cream of tartar is available in bulk food stores.  

Tip: many children are sensitive to artificial dyes.  Natural
dyes can be made from foods such as beet juice,
blueberries, raspberries.
