For my youngest son’s 3rd birthday, he wanted a Cars birthday. Using ice-cream cones, Marie biscuits and orange icing I was able to make “road cones”. We had Checkered flag biscuits on the table as well as chips, chomps and jelly “racing car” sweets to nibble.
As a party favour, each child got some Cars play-dough. I bought small plastic containers from the Plastics-shop, and Cars stickers. I then made a bulk amount of r
ed play-dough and filled the containers. I found a recipe for play dough a few years ago in the “Growing up with a Smile” book by Liz Senior & Karen Hopkins. To make your own play-dough you will need:
· 2 cups of flour
· 1 cup of salt
· 4 tablespoons cream of tartar
· 2 cups of water
· 2 tablespoons oil
· Food colouring
Mix dry ingredients, add water and oil. Mix to make a dough. Place in a saucepan on a low heat. Add two drops of food colouring. Stir until the dough pulls away from the pan. Knead to spread the colour. Store in an airtight container.
