Playdough

Making the playdough

Playing with the finished product!

There are so many recipes (we've done at least four), but this is my favorite:

1 cup flour

1/2 cup salt

1 cup water

1 T vegatable (or similar) oil

1 1/2 t cream of tartar (if you don't have it, just leave it out)

Food color if desired

Mix everything in a sauce pan over low heat until impossible to stir (doesn't take long!).  Cool for a minute and you're good to go!

I store in a a glass storage bowl with a lid in the fridge.  Put a damp cloth or paper towel in with the dough to keep it moist.  Happy squishing!
