Homemade play dough (not edible)

I’ve been wanting to make homemade play dough and we finally made it.  Here is an easy recipe I found and I’ve added a picture tutorial.

Ingredients

• 1 cup white flour
• 1/2 cup salt
• 2 tablespoons cream of tartar
• 1 tablespoon oil
• 1 cup water
• food coloring

These are the ingredients listed, but I cut the recipe in 1/2.
Directions (along with numbered pictures above)

1. Gather your ingredients
2. Mix first four ingredients in a pan
3. Add water and mix well.  Cook over medium heat and stir constantly for 3 –5 minutes. 
4. Dough will become difficult to stir and get clumpy.  (I only had to heat it for a minute by the time it became clumpy)
5. Remove from the stove and knead for about 5 minutes.  Add food coloring during the kneading process.
6. Store the play dough in covered plastic containers or plastic sandwich bags.

Then…. have fun!

It was really easy and again, I found the recipe here: http://mommyfootprint.com/the-perfect-home-made-play-dough-recipe/

I've linked this to some of these parties.
