~ Playdough ~
* Since this recipe utilizes the stove, it's not really a recipe that children can do by themselves, but since playdough is a kid-friendly item, I thought this would go well here.
3 cups flour
1 1/2 cups salt
6 tsp. cream of tartar
3 cups cool water
3 Tbsp. oil
food coloring
Mix dry ingredients together in a big cooking pot. Blend all liquids together in a bowl. Combine with dry ingredients and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly. Remove from heat when dough pulls away from the sides of the pot and can be pinched without sticking (about 5 minutes). Turn onto board or counter and knead until smooth and play dough consistency. Store in an airtight container.
