play dough

Since the girls' play doh was drying up, and i really didn't want to spend the money on some new ones, molly and i made some. I love this stuff! we got 7 different colors from one batch of play dough. it was super easy, and i got the recipe on the internet. i can't find the specific website where i found it, but here is a similar recipe:

1 cup flour

1/2 cup salt

1 cup water

2 tablespoons oil

2 tablespoons cream of tartar

food coloring

Mix flour, salt and oil, and slowly add the water. Cook over medium heat, stirring until dough becomes stiff. Turn out onto wax paper and let cool. Knead the playdough with your hands until of proper consistency. Divide into balls and add food coloring to each one; knead until color is even. Store in resealable plastic bags or in air tight containers.
