Old-Fashioned Play Dough
By Linda on Oct 13, 2010 in Interesting Stories
Kids can spend hours with play dough when they make it themselves. Make several batches of this and color each one a different color. This variation feels nice and silky, and, if properly stored, stays soft for a very long time.
Makes about 1 cup of play dough
1 cup flour (gluten FREE)
1/2 cup salt
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
2 tablespoons organic coconut oil
1 cup water
A few drops of organic food coloring.
Put all the ingredients, including the food coloring, in a saucepan and cook, stirring constantly, over medium heat until mixture thickens and holds together in a mass. Remove pan from heat and let the dough cool. Turn out onto a work surface and knead several times until soft, pliable and smooth. Use immediately or store in an airtight plastic container.
