Play Dough Recipe

Please make TWO batches of the following recipe so there is enough for the preschool class. If you double the batch, add the food colouring after step 4, so that you can make more than one colour.

• 2 cups flour 
• 2 tbsp cream of tartar  (NOT tartar sauce... that would be awful)

• 2 tbsp of cooking oil
• Food coloring

​Directions

1. Combine dry ingredients in a large cooking pot.
2. Combine wet ingredients in a measuring cup or bowl.

4. Place mixture in pot on stove and heat at medium heat, stirring constantly until mixture forms a ball.
