Play Dough

I got this recipe from Joy School and I made one batch that lasted the whole year since it was stored in the refrigerator. We really liked it!

1 C flour
1/2 C salt
1 C water
1 T oil
1 t cream of tartar
food coloring

Mix dry ingredients in a sauce pan.  Add oil, water and food coloring to the dry ingredients.  Cook over medium heat until dough pulls away from the sides of the pan and forms a ball. This takes only about 30 seconds to 1 minute.  Remove to counter and knead until smooth.  Caution: it will be warm. 

Note: This makes a soft dough that keeps it shape when molded.  It wil ldry out, but not enought to make things like jewelry.  If kept in a plastic bag or air tight container in the refrigerator, it will keep for many months.
