Homemade Play Dough

Play Dough, anyone? These girls LOVE play dough.

I found this super easy recipe here and here, and I thought I would pass it along. It’s really easy… But it tastes horrible. I had to remind Sparrow a few times to keep the dough out of her mouth. I found another recipe online for play dough that’s supposed to taste good. I might try that one next.

Materials

• 1 cup water
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup salt
• 1 tablespoon cream of tartar
• Food coloring
• Saucepan
• 1 cup flour

Directions

1. Combine water, oil, salt, cream of tartar, and food coloring in a saucepan and heat until warm.
2. Remove from heat and add flour.
3. Stir, then knead until smooth. The cream of tartar makes this dough last 6 months or longer, so resist the temptation to omit this ingredient if you don’t have it on hand.
4. Store this dough in an airtight container or a Ziploc freezer bag.
