Play-Doh Recipe

This recipe is from my son's preschool and it is really easy to make.  

2 cups flour
1 cup salt
2 Tbsp. cream of tarter
2 cups water
2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
Optional:  food coloring, unsweetened koolaid, glitter, vanilla, peppermint, or another scent


1.  Mix dry ingredients thoroughly (including glitter, if desired).  Place in a heavy saucepan.  
2.  Combine liquid ingredients (including food coloring), then whisk together with dry ingredients.  
3.  Cook and stir over medium heat until dough is too stiff to stir.  Add scent if desired.  
4.  Turn out of pan and knead until smooth.  Store in Ziploc bag or airtight container.  

-After making this recipe for several years, I increased the amount of cream of tarter to 2 Tbsp. and it makes a nicer stiffer dough that is still easy to work with.
