Plenty of Play Dough

If your kids are bored, try this fun recipe to let their imagination run wild.

½ Cup Salt
1 Cup Flour
1 Tablespoon Cream of Tartar
1 Tablespoon Vegetable Oil
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
3-5 drops of Food Coloring

Combine all of the ingredients well in a large sauce pan. Place on a medium burner and gently heat stirring constantly. Once you see the mixture reach a dough like consistency, remove from the heat. Once the dough has cooled, place it on a lightly floured board and knead until smooth.

Now the kids are ready to play! Let them have at it. Once they are done, place the dough into tightly sealed containers. The best way that I have found to store it is to place the dough into zip lock style bags and press out all the air before sealing.
