Playdough

I have a confession.  I can't stand playdough and we do not own any.  So imagine my joy when M's teacher sent home a handy little recipe along with a note saying I was the next parent in line to make the classroom playdough.  Awesome!!

So, M and I dutifully made a very pale pink playdough that kind of resembled raw chicken.  She loved it.  That's all that matters right?

Playdough Recipe
1/2 cup salt
1 cup flour
1 tablespoon cream of tartar
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 cup water
food coloring

Combine ingredients in a saucepan.  Heat over medium low heat, stirring constantly.  When the mixture has the right playdough consistency, take it off the heat and allow it to cool.
