Homemade Play dough

Hi every one! Just getting around to writing this post from FRIDAY! We got this recipe sent home last week from my daughter's teacher for fun things to do for the summer! We made the dough and it turned out awesome. Here is how we did it!

Supplies:
1 cup flour
1 cup water
2 teaspoons of cream of tartar
1/3 cup salt
1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
food coloring
Sauce pan
stove

In your sauce pan put in 1 cup of flour

2 Teaspoons of Cream of Tartar

1/3 cup of salt

1 cup of water

And one tablespoon of vegetable oil and turn your burner on medium/low & stir.

It will be a little lumpy just keep stirring and add in your color choice or food coloring. My daughter thought long and hard about what color she wanted.....after careful consideration she chose green. LOL. Now keep stirring for 20-30 seconds. Any lumps left you can work out. When the dough sticks to your spoon that's your clue it's done :-)!

Now all there is left to do is HAVE FUN with your DIY dough! It's been 4 days and ours is still good. We are keeping it in sandwich bags. If it does get a little dry just add a little water. So far four days in we haven't had to add any water :-).
