Play Dough

With the cooler weather setting in, it's time to find some indoor things to keep the kiddos busy! Dillon has been hauling out his play dough stuff and has spent quite a bit of time with it. But the (bought) play dough was a little old, so I thought I'd whip him up some fresh play dough. I have many memories of my Mom making play dough for me and my two brothers as we were growing up.
By the looks of the photo I should have probably kneaded the food coloring in a bit more.

• 1/2 cup salt
• 1 cup flour
• 1 cup water
• 1 tbsp oil
• 2 tbsp cream of tartar
• food coloring

Mix and warm first five ingredients in a pot on the stove. Keep stirring and working it (your arm will feel like it wants to fall off) for a few minutes. Once it no longer sticks to the side of the pot, it's done. Add food coloring to divided pieces. I kneaded the coloring in on a plate, as I didn't want to stain my counter count. Store in the fridge in a bag, to keep it fresh.
