This is a great playdough recipie, we use it at pre-school and it keeps for weeks, has a really nice consistancy. Very theraputic for mums and kids. Must be prepared by an adult!
Playdough
1 cup salt
2 cups plain flour
4 tsp cream of tartar
2 tbsp of oil
2 cups water
few drops of colouring
Put all ingredients in a large saucepan and over a medium heat keep stirring with a wooden spoon until it comes together in a smooth soft dough, (at first it will be sloppy and lumpy but bear with it, it does come together).
When cool knead well.
Stored in an airtight container it will keep fresh for weeks.
Optional additions are a drop or two of fragrant oil, vanilla is nice or for a bit of sparkle add a good sprinkle of glitter when you are kneading it.
