Home made playdough

I made some this morning. Very easy, very cheap, and lots of fun and actually some really great skill building for the kiddos. It is great for strengthening their hands..for future writing!! I know the store bought stuff is semi cheap..but this is made from stuff you probably already have on hand..so therefore in my book....FREE :<) Took me about 10 minutes per batch to make. This will make One batch..I made 3 batches ( one for each color) 1c flour 1c warm water 2tsp cream of tarter 1tsp oil 1/4c salt food color --------------------------------------------------------------- Mix all (food color last) in a pan...cook on med heat ( stir constantly it cooks up FAST) It will only take a min or two...it will be smooth and start sticky and gumming up. Take it over to the cutting board..FLOUR it well and your hands!! Work flour as needed and knead knead knead...it only takes a Min or two. DONE....I put it in some old cleaned out yogurt containers...but you could use ziplock bags as well- You can add koolaid or extracts to the dough for a "smell" if you'd like..but in my experience this only encouraged them to EAT IT!! LOL (which at least with this playdough)
