There are many recipes available for Play Dough but this one seems to work every time. It’s best to play with it while it is warm but it’ll also keep pretty well in an air tight container for a few days. Of course you can buy a tub at your local Kmart if you prefer. Either way they’ll love playing with it.

You will need:

• 1 cup of flour
• 1 tbsp of oil
• 1 cup of water
• ½ cup of salt
• 2 tsp of cream of tartar
• 2 tsp food colouring (optional)

1. Mix everything together in a saucepan.
2. Cook it over a medium heat (don’t burn it) stirring and folding over constantly. The mixture will lose its stickiness and will start to gather together in a big blob like pastry does.
3. Once it does this take it off the stove.
4. Turn it out into a floured board and knead it until the mixture is smooth.
