Best Ever Playdough

Ingredients:

1 cup flour

1/3 cup salt

1 tablespoon oil

2 teaspoons cream of tartar

1 cup water

food coloring

bowl

spoon

non-stick pan

Combine the ingredients in a bowl and mix.

Once mixed, transfer to a non-stick pan and cook on medium heat. Stir until ingredents start to form on spoon, keep stiring until mixture is heated through. Remove from oven and let cool.

Store in a covered container. This pllaydough gets better and better with use. Enjoy!

Over the years I have tried many different playdough recipes and this is by far the very best! Many thanks to Meri Cherry and her wonderful book Play, Make, Create.

PLAYdough play ideas:

Use kid scissors to cut playdough, cookie cutters, plastic animals are a big hit when they romp and stomp through the clay, press beads and straws into the clay, use things from nature to press into clay to make designs, explore with different kitchen tools.
