Homemade Playdough

• 1 cup plain flour
• 1/2 cup salt
• 4 teaspoons cream of tartar (I only had about 1 tsp, but it worked fine)
  
• 1 cup water
• 1 tablespoon oil
• 1 teaspoon of food coloring

Mix all ingredients in a small saucepan. Cook over a very low heat until it turns into a dough--it’ll take just a few minutes. Knead the dough on a floured surface until cool enough for kids to touch. Have fun! (You could also wait until the kneading stage to separate and add the food coloring).
