Homemade Playdough

Last summer, we made this awesome play dough with my Aunt Shannon.  We played with it all the time and then we moved and had to get rid of it.  So we decided to make some more here in Australia.

Here is the stuff you need.

And here is the recipe.

1 C Flour

1/2 C salt

2 tsp cream of tartar

2 tsp oil

1 C water

food coloring

Mix flour, salt & cream of tartar together, then add oil, water and a few drops of food coloring.  Cook in a saucepan on medium heat until thick, stirring constantly.  I consider it done once it pulls away from the edges and stays on the spoon.  It will still be really gooey, but if you knead it on the counter it will be great.  

You can make it whatever color you would like but we did purple, of course, because it's my favorite! 

Here is the finished product. 

 Here is my brother, Will and my sister, Ava, and me all having fun with the playdough.

 It was so much fun to play with, here is a mountain I made.

Have fun making your own!
