Homemade play dough

How great is play dough?! It keeps my kids busy for

hours. Unfortunately they have this awesome knack

of leaving it in obscure places and for some reason this

makes the dough dry out....long story short, we had no

play dough in the house. Only little dried out clumps!

So guess what? I made some....shocker! Actually this was

my first attempt and it's so easy and quick I had to share.

Play dough

1 cup flour

1 cup water

1/2 cup salt

2 teaspoons cream of tartar

1 teaspoon oil

food coloring

Dump all ingredients in a large sauce pan and

whisk until smooth. Cook over medium heat stirring

constantly. Just cook until it starts to all stick together

and form a ball. Snatch the dough out of the pan and

place on waxed paper until slightly cooled.

Then, knead it for a few minutes! Store it in an air tight

container....so you don't have giant clumps! Seriously, this

took me all of 10 minutes and it's super fun. You could even

let your little monsters help with part of the dumping and

whisking...they'll love you for it!!
