World’s Best Play Dough Recipe
Courtesy of Parents and Children Together (www.pact.9f.com)
2 cups white flour
2 cups water
½ cup salt
2 TBSP oil
4 tsp Cream of Tartar
4 tsp food color
Mix salt, flour, and cream of tartar in a heavy medium pot. Add
water, oil and food coloring. Cook and stir over medium heat.
When the mixture forms a ball in the pot, turn it out and knead
on a lightly floured surface. Store the play-dough in an air-tight
container, preferably in the fridge. Serve with cookie cutters,
rolling pins, necklaces and rings (for imprinting), cupcake trays,
garlic press, etc. For added fun, eliminate the food color and
make it white. Roll out the play dough and let the kids draw
pictures on it with markers and then squish it!
