Make homemade playdough with your little ones. The recipe is edible, just in case some goes in the mouth.

Approximate Time: 15 minutes

Supplies:

• 2 cup flour
• 1/2 cup salt
• 4 tablespoons cream of tartar
• 2 cup water
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• food coloring
• medium sized pot

Instructions:

1. Combine all of the ingredients into the pot, leaving out the food coloring. Cook over medium heat and stir about 3 to 5 minutes. It will look like a globby mess and you'll think it is not turning out, but it will.
    

2. When it forms a ball in the center of the pot, take it and knead it on a lightly floured surface.
