Ingredients
  • 1cup Flour
  • 1/2cup Salt
  • 2teaspoons Cream of tartar
  • 1tablespoon Oil(Olive oil or coconut oil)
  • 1cup warm water
  • 1 teaspoon food powder for coloring (or 5 drops of natural food coloring)
Instructions
    1. Mix dry ingredients (flour, salt, and cream of tartar) in a pot.
    2. Add food coloring of your choice to the warm water and mix well.
    3. Add oil and colored water to the dry ingredients. Stir well.
    4. Heat the mixture slowly on the stove over low to medium heat. Stir or whisk dough often while on the stove. It will eventually start pulling away from the sides and clump into a ball (and start to look like playdough). This process takes just several minutes.
    5. Once the dough has cooled, remove it from the pot and kneed it. Then it is ready for play!
    6. To store the playdough, put in an airtight container in the refrigerator and it will last months. I often store in mason jars.
