My All Time Favorite Play Dough Recipe

This recipe is THE best play dough recipe I have found.  Jay and I make it every other month or so, and we generally make two to three colors.  I like to halve the recipe and do each half a different color!  The texture of it is very similar to real play dough, so you can use it with play dough toys...but this costs much less, and I don't have to worry about what strange chemicals might be in it!  I also love that it doesn't seem to come off onto our skin or the surface we are playing on or our clothes (unless Jay eats some and then drools the color onto his clothes.)  :0)

Anywho...here's the recipe:

Ingredients:
1 cup four, plus extra for kneading
1/2 cup salt
2 tablespoon cream pf tartar
1 tablespoon oil
1 cup boiling water
food coloring (20 drops for darker hued colors and about 25 for lighter hued colors)

Directions:
In one bowl mix together the flour, salt, and cream of tartar. 
Pour the water and oil into a small saucepan and bring them to a boil. 
Once the water mixture is boiling, add the food coloring and stir well. 
Then pour the water mixture over the flour mixture and stir until everything in combined and the coloring is evenly distributed.
Let the dough cool for a few minutes and then turn it out onto a floured surface.
Knead flour into the dough until it is no longer sticky and has a play dough like texture.
Store in an air tight container for up to three months.

Have fun!!
