Playdough!

Thea LOVES playdough...it can keep her amused for hours.  I have tried many recipes over the years but this one is my favourite.  I love the intense colour, it stays soft and it lasts for ages.

1 cup flour
1/2 cup salt
2 Tablespoon oil
2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 cup water
food colouring

Heat oil in a saucepan.

Mix food colouring in the water until you like the colour.  Put everything together in the pot and cook over a low-med heat for 3-4 minutes stirring constantly.

It will start to come away from the pot.

Take off heat and knead until it cools down.

And enjoy!  Store in an air tight container.
