Basic recipe for playdough:
Ingredients:
2 cups warm water
2 cups flour
2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup salt
1 Tablespoon cream of tartar (optional for improved elasticity)
food coloring (liquid, powder, or Kool-Aid drink mix)
Mix all of the ingredients (except for the food coloring) together over low heat. The dough will begin to thicken until it resembles mashed potatoes.
When the dough pulls away from the sides and clumps in the center, remove the pan from heat and allow the dough to cool. If the dough is still sticky, cook it longer. Keep stirring and cooking until the dough is dry and feels like playdough.
On a clean counter, knead vigorously it until it becomes silky-smooth. Divide the dough into balls for coloring.
Put on gloves. Make a divot in the center of the ball, and drop some food coloring in. Fold the dough over, working the food color through the body of the playdough. Add as much dye as you like to get the desired color!
Store your playdough in an airtight container.
