Want to know how to make this awesome playdough? Here is the recipe:
1 cup flour
1/2 cup salt
2 tsp. cream of tartar
1 cup water
1 Tbs. vegetable oil
food coloring
1. Combine flour, salt, and cream of tartar in a saucepan. In a bowl, put flour, salt, and cream of tartar in a saucepan. In a bowl, put water, oil, and food coloring. Gradually stir wet ingredients into the dry ones until the mixture is smooth.
2. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until a ball forms. Remove from stove and cool.
3. Have your child knead the playdough until smooth. Then, start playing! Store in an airtight container. I have found that old sandwich meat containers are just the right size. Repeat for other colors.
I found this recipe in the September 2007 issue of Parents magazine. I have tried to search for the recipe on their website, but have not had any luck yet.
Enjoy!

This is the recipe that my mom used "way back in the day" for us! We especially loved playing with it while it was still warm. Cost-wise, this is absolutely the way to go! The colors may not end up quite as bright as the brand name stuff (although there have been some serious advances in the science of food coloring since the 80's) but it's SO much cheaper. Our mom didn't even mind when we accidentally left some out and it dried up every once in a while. Plus for parents of "eaters", you at least have the assurance of knowing what it is that your child is ingesting. Even if it still grosses you out. Thanks for posting this Tiffany!
