Not DELISH but FUN Playdough

This is the best recipe we have found for cooked play dough.  When my kids were little we would make it all of the time.  Now my kids help me make it more for my class of students.  We doubled the recipe for the batch we are making in the pictures.

Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl.
Flour

Salt


Colored Water (green is Brady's favorite color)

Mix with a whisk to get all the lumps out.
cream of tartar
oil
Pour mixture into a large pan. Cook over medium heat.
This is where it gets a bit tricky.  The mixture needs to be continuously scrapped from the pan to prevent burning.  Make sure if your kids are stirring that they know to be extra careful.


Place finished play dough on wax paper to cool.  Knead cooled play dough until texture is smooth and pliable.  Place play dough into tupperware containers or zip-lock baggies.  It will keep longer in the fridge but also last a long time at room temperature.  ENJOY!
