Play Dough

Ingredients:
2 cups flour
4 tsp cream of tartar
1cup salt
2 Tbsp vegetable oil
2 cups water
food coloring and scent (optional)

Directions:
Mix dry ingredients then add oil, water with food coloring added, and scent. Cook over medium heat stirring constantly until it reaches the consistency of mashed potatoes (or leaves the sides of the pan). Remove from heat. Turn the play dough out onto wax paper to cool. When cool enough to handle, knead until smooth and the air bubbles are gone. After it is completely cool, store in an air-tight container. If the play dough feels sticky add a tiny bit more flour and knead again.

Food coloring (paste coloring gives the richest color. These can be found at Michaels in the cake decorating section)
Optional – scent (vanilla, mint, coffee, etc.)
