    Hi. I got this recipe from the Martha Stewart show a few years ago...

    Materials

    1 cup flour

    1/2 cup salt

    2 teaspoons cream of tartar

    1 teaspoon cooking oil

    1 cup water

    Food coloring as needed

    1. In a heavy saucepan, mix the ingredients.

    2. Cook on a medium heat, stirring constantly for 3 minutes or until mixture pulls away from sides of pan. It will have the consistency of mashed potatoes.

    3. Remove from heat; let cool for 1 minute and then knead. It should have a soft, smooth texture.


    4. Play dough can be stored in airtight containers and will keep for several weeks.


    Note

    Due to its high salt content, the clay should not be eaten by children.


    Hope you like!😊

    Ingredients

    • 1 cup of flour (whatever kind you have on hand)
    • ¼ cup of salt
    • ½ cup of water
    • 3 to 5 drops of natural food coloring
    Instructions
    1. Mix together the flour and the salt.
    2. Mix together ½ cup of warm water with a few drops of food coloring.
    3. Slowly pour the water into the flour mixture, stirring as you pour. Stir until combined, then knead with your hands until the flour is completely absorbed. If the dough is too sticky, add more flour until it doesn’t stick at all.
