2 Cups Flour
1 Cup Salt
4 Tablespoons Cream of Tartar
2 Tablespoons Oil
2 Cups Water
Optional: Essential Oil and Food coloring
In a Large bowl, mix together the flour, salt, cream of tartar, and oil.
In a small bowl or measuring cup, add your essential oil of choice and food coloring if you'd like to make it colorful.
Add the water mixture to the large bowl and mix well.
Place mixture in a sauce pan on medium heat. Stir it CONSTANTLY for about 5minutes.
Note: At first you will think you failed at making this recipe because it appears sticky and messy.... Don't give up... As it cools, it's consistency changes.. hardens and starts to feel like real playdough!!
Let cool, before storing!
I've stored mine in an air tight container and as long as it is stored correctly after each use, it lasts a looong time. My first batch was great for about three months!!
We have added cinnamon at times instead of essential oil and we really enjoy making different combinations. A favorite is orange oil with orange food coloring and lemon oil with yellow food coloring! What combination will you use?!
*This recipe is a combination of a recipe my friend gave me and others online. It is not my own*
