One of our creations...

Playdough!
We made playdough this morning.  It turned out great!


We had to borrow food coloring from Aunt Becky (we're always borrowing things from her) She also gave us these great air tight containers.  She buys Uncle Stephens lunch meat in them and saves them.  She says that she will keep us in containers!  Thanks Aunt Becky!!!

2 cups warm water
2 cups flour
1 cup salt
2 table spoons vegetable oil
1 table spoon cream of tartar

combine ingredients.  Cook on low heat stirring constantly until it's the same consistency of thick mashed potatoes.  Remove from heat.

When it has cooled to the touch, kneed dough vigorously until smooth.  Divide into 4 balls and add food coloring.  Store in air tight container or ziplock bags.

NOTE:  If your dough is sticky you didn't cook it long enough. 
The first time I tried this, I didn't cook it long enough.  It was a big mess!  Had to throw it out.
