Ingredients:
1 cup flour
2 teaspoons cream of tatar
1/3 cup salt
1 cup water
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
food coloring
Directions:
Stir flour, tartar, and salt in a saucepan. Add and stir the water and oil. Cook over low/medium heat, stirring. Once the dough begins to thicken, add the food coloring. Continue to stir until the mixture becomes quite thick and gathers around the spoon. Remove to wax paper, knead a little. Divide and place in airtight storage containers or plastic bags.
Notes:
I love homemade play dough. This is much softer and more maleable than store bought. Also, it's fun to make all the colors you want for so cheap.
