Homemade Playdough

So some of you asked for this Homemade Playdough recipe off of my Carpenter Column, so I thought it would be more useful on our Joys of Motherhood blog. My preschool kids enjoyed it just as much as my own. I really like the consistency of it! Here it is:

Playdough

2 cups flour

1 cup salt

4 tsp cream of tartar

2 tbsp oil

2 cups water

Food Coloring

Combine all ingredients together. Mix well. Cook @ med. heat stirring constantly until mixture follows spoon. Turn out on floured area and kneed until cool.
