Homemade Playdough

Ingredients

  • 1 C flour
  • 1/4 C salt
  • 2 Tb cream of tartar
  • 2 ts food coloring (optional)
  • 1 Tb vegetable oil
  • 1 C water

Procedure

Mix the flour, salt, and cream of tartar in a medium pot. Add water, food coloring, and oil.

Stir over medium heat for 3-5 minutes. The mixture will gradually combine and solidify to form dough.

When the mixture forms a ball in the center of the pot, remove from heat and let cool. Once cooled enough to handle, remove it to a floured surface and knead for 30 seconds, or until the proper consistency.

Storage

Store, refrigerated, in an airtight container.
