Obviously this is not to eat but it's great fun to make and so much cheaper than the shop bought stuff!
You will need:-
2 mugs of plain flour
1 mug of salt
2 mugs of cold water
2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
4 teaspoons of Cream of Tartar
Optional : few drops of food colouring and/or glitter
* Mix the flour, salt, cream of tartar (and glitter if using) together in a saucepan
* Add the cold water, vegetable oil and food colouring gradually
* Cook the play dough on a low heat, stirring all the time until the mixture slowly thickens into a big stretchy elastic mass that is so stiff you can’t stir it anymore
* Tip out the dough onto a work surface and wait few moments until it is cool enough for you to handle
* Knead for a few minutes until you get a lovely smooth, soft and pliable dough.
* Your homemade Play dough is now ready to use.
* Store in an airtight container in the fridge and it should keep for a couple of weeks at least.
