Playdough Recipe

Please ask an adult to help you.

1 cup flour

1/2 cup salt

1 cup water

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 tablespoon cream of tartar

3-4 drops of food colouring

1. Put all the ingredients into a medium cooking pot on the stove.
2. Cook over a low heat.  Keep stirring until the mixture is very, very thick.
3. Dust the counter with a thin layer of flour and then turn the cooked playdough onto the counter. Let it cool down a bit before you touch it.
4. Knead the play dough for a few minutes.
5. Allow to cool completely and store it in an air tight container (an empty, cleaned yogurt or margarine container works well).
