Homemade Playdough

Classic Playdough Recipe:

• plain white flour – 1 cup
• salt – 1/2 cup
• cream of tartar – 2 tsp (you can substitute 2 tbsp of baking soda)
• water – 1 cup
• cooking oil – 1 tsp (if you use baking soda, add 1 tbsp of oil instead of 1 tsp)
• food coloring

Directions:

• Mix all the ingredients together with a fork in a mixing bowl until the mixture is smooth and one solid color.
• Pour the mixture into a pan and bring to a boil over medium heat.
• Stir until smooth and then until playdough bunches up to form a ball.
• Take it out of the pan and allow the playdough to cool.
• Knead for a few minutes and store in an airtight container.

We made 2 batches.  We made 1 with cream of tartar and one with the baking soda option.  They both turned out great!
