Play-dough Recipe


What you'll need:
1 cup flour 
1/2 cup salt
1 cup water
2 tablespoons oil
2 tablespoons cream of tartar
Beet juice, carrot juice or food coloring 


Mix all the dry ingredients and slowly add oil and water.
Cook over medium heat, stirring until dough becomes stiff.
Place dough on wax paper and let cool.
Knead the play-dough with your hands, 
You may dust with flour if the dough is too sticky. 
Divide into balls and add a few drops of the juice or food coloring as desired for colors.
Tada! You've made a non-toxic play dough for your tot. 
The smell is tolerable but if you'd like to add a sweet scent, perhaps try a teaspoon or 2 of vanilla extract.
