Perfect Homemade Play Dough Recipe

This recipe has been passed down to us from our aunt and has been a favorite of many preschool teachers. We make it all the time – even the kids love to help! This recipe can be doubled or even tripled, but any more than that gets tricky.

• 1 cup flour
• 1/2 cup salt
• 2 Tbsp. oil
• 2 tsp. cream of tartar
• 1 cup of water
• food coloring

Mix all of the ingredients together in a pot (nonstick if you have it). Cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently until it forms a ball. Turn out onto a counter, let cool, then knead a few times. You can mix food coloring in before or after you cook it. It keeps the best in the refrigerator.

Some add-ins include:

• glitter
• cinnamon
• different extracts (vanilla, peppermint, etc.)
• sugar-free drink mix packets

The possibilities are endless!
