Play-Grounds

To me, the smell of fresh- made coffee is 

one of the greatest inventions.

I have had a recipe for coffee grounds playdough for some time and I have finally made a batch.  I love it and cannot wait to see the kids use these 'play-grounds'.    Here's how---

3+ c. flour (you may need more depending on the consistency you like)

1 c. salt

2 c. coffee grounds (your local coffee shop may be delighted to give you bag like mine does)

1 c. cold coffee

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

First mix the flour, salt and coffee grounds in a large bowl.  Mix until blended.  It will be lumpy but the color should be fairly uniform.

Slowly add the cold coffee and vegetable oil and  mix as you go.  Knead the playdough thoroughly and store in a zip-lock bag.  This recipe makes a nice full gallon size bag of playdough.
