Homemade Playdough





You'll need:


  • 1 cup water

  • 1/2 cup salt
  • 1 Tbsp cream of tarter
  • food coloring
  • 1 cup flour 
  • saucepan

Directions:

  1. add: water, oil, cream of tartar & food coloring in saucepan. Heat until warm.
  2. remove from heat, then add flour.
  3. knead dough until smooth. 
  4. *Optional: we kneaded in a little glitter after the dough was formed, just because.

Storage:

Store dough in a air tight container or Ziploc freezer bag. The cream of tartar makes the dough last six months or longer so don't leave it out.
