Perfect Play Dough

Source: My Mom's wonderful cookbook

If you have a one year old or older, then you have a kid that would love to get their hands on play dough. Here is a super simple recipe for play dough that will keep in an airtight container for months! Cohen LOVES it.

1 cup water
2 t. cream of tarter
1/2 c salt
1 cup flour
1 T. veggie oil (or canola)
a few drops of food coloring

Combine ingredients in a sauce pan and cook over medium heat (no hotter!), stirring constantly until the mixture becomes very thick and pulls away from the sides of the pan. This usually takes only two to three minutes. Let cool and store in an airtight container.
