1 cup flour
1/2 cup salt
1 cup water
2 tablespoons oil
2 tablespoons cream of tartar
2 tablespoons glitter (optional)
1 packet unsweetened drink mix (like Kool-Aid)
1. In a medium pot, mix flour, salt, cream of tartar, drink mix, glitter, and oil. Then, add the water.
3. Whisk until well-blended.
4. Cook over medium heat stirring constantly until stiff and all sticks onto itself.
5. Turn out onto wax paper to to let cool.
6. Knead until proper consistency.
7. Store in a sealed plastic baggie.
*** Mom's Note: I like using the unflavored fruit drink instead of food coloring but you certainly can use food coloring. the drink mix makes teh dough smell like a flavor which adds an additional element to it's play. Wal-mart has their brand of drink-mix for 10 cents a packet!
*** Mom's Note: I used embossing glitter because not only did I have it on hand, I like it's fine texture which I think makes the play dough look better and feel better than te larger chunky glitter which is more rough. Also, 1 tablespoon is probably enough but I wanted extra sparkles! :)
*** Mom's Note: As soon as you turn out the play dough, put water in the pot. You'll thank me for telling you that! :)
