I have tried quite a few play dough recipes; my all time favorite is a gingerbread play dough….I’ll be sharing that recipe as the Christmas season approaches. But for today I thought I would share a simple, inexpensive play dough recipe that is great for everyday play!

You will need:

• 1 cup of all purpose flour
• 1/2 cup of salt
• 2 Tablespoons cream of tartar
• 1 Tablespoon of vegetable oil
• 1 cup of water
• food coloring (optional)

Directions:

1. Place all of the ingredients into a large pot on your stove top.
2. Over medium-low heat, stir everything together until the dough loses its stickiness look and become hard to stir.  Takes maybe 3 or 4 minutes!
3. Carefully pull dough out of pan and onto a sheet of parchment paper or a cutting board shown in my pictures.
4. Knead the dough until it is no longer sticky and feels like the right consistency.
5. Store in a sealed plastic bag!
