Homemade Play Dough

2 Tbsp. cream of tartar
1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
1 cup flour
2 tsp. food coloring
1 cup water
1/2 cup salt

Have a few children help you to measure and combine all ingredients in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, until it forms a ball in the center of the pan. Show your child how to knead it on a lightly floured surface. Store in an airtight container or plastic bag.
