Play dough Recipe

This is an excellent (and foolproof!) play dough recipe which is fun to make for adults and children alike, and it can be adapted according to your requirements/imagination.

You will need:

1 cup plain (all-purpose) flour

½ cup salt

2 tablespoons cream of tartar

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 cup water with food colouring added

1 teaspoon vanilla essence*

Instructions:

Put all the ingredients into a large saucepan, and stir over a medium heat until the dough forms into a ball. Allow to cool, and then knead until smooth. Store in an airtight container (a Ziploc bag with the air pressed out is good).

*Optional but it makes the play dough smell lovely. You can also substitute for/include different scents or glitter!
