Play dough

3 cups of all purpose flour

1 cup of salt

6 tsp cream of tartar

3 cups water

3 tbsp oil

 

Mix all ingredients and cook in a pot.  Stir continously until it comes together.  Knead the dough when it has cooled off a bit.  I like to add some aroma therapy oils, eg. lavender, orange, mint, etc.  It is very soothing for me and my kids.  Don’t forget some food colouring.  Wilton colour pastes are available at any craft or baking shop.  You can mix it into the water before cooking or if you want to make many diffferent colours from one batch you can do it afterward.
