Homemade Modeling Dough (like Play Dough
1 c all purpose white flour
1/2 c salt
2 T cream of tartar (found in spices)
1 T vegetable oil
1 c water
optional: food coloring for color, extracts or spices for smell
(We made green modeling dough with peppermint extract today, but you can do red and cinnamon, white and vanilla extract or any combination your child suggests or is comfortable with.)
Put all ingredients into a saucepan. Stir constantly on medium heat until the mixture forms a "ball" (about 3-5 minutes). Scoop out onto a cutting board and cool for 5 minutes. (Fill saucepan with water for easier clean-up later!) Knead dough for 5 minutes. Play! Store in a covered plastic container or plastic baggie.
