Play Dough

1 cup water (add a few drops of food coloring of your choice)
1/2 cup plain salt
2 tsp. cream of tartar
2 Tablespoons oil
1 cup flour
Mix and stir in a pan on medium heat until dough starts to pull away from pan.
Put on counter top and knead with more flour if necessary.

The cream of tartar is the preservative and helps this play dough last a long time. Our kids have enojoyed this recipe many times. Easily doubled. I usually make two colors and let them play and have fun. This is not to eat, it is to play with.
