Play-Doh Recipe

makes 1 1/2 cups of clay

1 cup flour
1/2 cup salt
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 cup water
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
( food coloring - optional)

1. Combine all ingredients in a saucepan. Over medium-low heat, stir the mixture constantly until it thickens and begins to form a ball. (about 3 minutes) Remove from heat.
2. Turn the clay onto a clean surface and allow to cool. When cool enough to handle, knead until smooth. Food coloring may be added at this point.
