Something for the kids...

How many times has your little girl or little boy come to you and ask to play with some play dough?  You go to the cupboard and open the container, and low and behold the dough is all dried up!  I finally stopped buying the stuff about 4 years ago, when I found this recipe.  It makes a huge recipe, you can pick the color and if you keep it in a Ziploc bag, it will keep for a REALLY long time!  The best part, you already have the ingredients in your cupboard:)  So, here...we...go!
Homemade Play Dough
2 cups flour
1 cup salt
4 tsp. cream of tarter
2 cups water
2 Tbs. oil
Food coloring of your child's choice:)
Mix all ingredients in a medium sauce pan.  On low heat, cook, stirring constantly until mixture forms ball and is no longer sticky.  Remove from heat.  Place on table and work until smooth.  Store in an air tight container or a Ziploc bag.
