Homemade Playdough (no cream of tartar recipe)

Here is an easy playdough recipe from www.naturalparentingtips.com. You don't have to worry if it ends up in your toddler's mouth and it won't stay there long because the taste is terrible.  Keep it in the refrigerator for weeks (months?) and take it out about half an hour before you plan to use it.

Ingredients

• 1 Cup Plain Flour (I don't bother with fancy flour)
• 1/4 Cup Salt
• 3 tsp of vinegar or lemon juice
• 2 Tablespoons of Oil
• 1/2 cup of water
• Food Coloring (I use India Tree)

Instructions

1. Mix the dry ingredients in a saucepan
2. Whisk in the water over low heat
3. Mix in the vinegar / lemon juice
4. Pour in the oil
5. Continue to mix over low heat until it forms a playdough texture
6. Split up the dough, and knead in the food color (when it’s cool enough to touch)
