Homemade play dough, fast and easy



What you will need

1 cup of flour
1 cup of water
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/3 cup salt
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Food coloring
Glitter (optional)

Start by turning your stove top burner on, at medium high.
Pour all the dry ingredients in a sauce pan (not yet on the burner),
then add oil and water. Stir and add food coloring.
Stir and place on preheated burner, bringing it down to medium.
Stir, stir, stir, it will be lumpy at first. (You would want to add the glitter in here, if you're using it)
Now stir your little heart out, until it is play dough. (You can occasionally stop stirring)
You will know it is ready, when it is one big lump. It can take anywhere from 45 seconds to 3 minutes.
Take out of pan, and let cool.

This is my favorite part. The one where I get to play with it a little before the kids, claiming it is too hot ;)
