How fun.  Make your own playdough – I’ve done it, it’s EASY!!

Ingredients:

3 cups flour
3 cups cool water
1-1/2 cups salt
3 T. canola or other oil
6 tsp. cream of tartar
Food coloring

Mix dry and wet ingredients separately.  Blend together, then cook over medium heat, stirring constantly.  In about five minutes, the dough should begin to pull away from the sides of the pot.  Once you can pinch the dough without it
sticking to you, remove from heat.  Knead until soft and well mixed.

Store in zip-loc baggie or airtight container.  Add a few cookie cutters and kids love it.
