If you have been looking for a recipe for play dough for your classroom or even your kids at home, this one is spectacular!
Ingredients:
flour
salt
cream of tartar (spice aisle of grocery store)
water
oil (vegetable or canola)
imitation vanilla flavoring
food coloring
waxed paper
Combine in saucepan: 1 cup flour, 1/4 cup salt, 1 teaspoon cream of tarter
Add 1 cup of water and 1 Tablespoon of oil
Whisk until smooth
Cook over medium heat until play dough is nearly set (stirring with a wood spoon occasionally and 'flipping' play dough over so it doesn't stick). Then, add 1 Tablespoon of imitation vanilla flavoring.
Stir until vanilla is blended
Remove and cool on waxed paper
Knead the play dough until smooth and form into a ball (or a few balls if you've tripled the recipe) and press down with your thumb to make an indention. Place 2-3 drops of food coloring into the indention and "close up the gap" so that you can't tell what color the play dough ball has inside.
Give kids the play dough and instruct them to knead the play dough to see what color they get.

**This is the best play dough recipe I've ever found. The vanilla flavoring seems to improve the texture and adds a nice scent as well ! **
***Store play dough in Ziploc bag or air tight container.***

This looks like so much fun. We need to have a play date and make it for all our kids to play with.

What a cute idea to put the color inside! I love it. I've only made my own play-doh once, but it was so much more fun than the store bought stuff. Can't wait to try it!
this recipe makes best playdough ever! what a great afternoon's fun - thanks so much for sharing.
Wonder if the gel food coloring will work? I don't have any liquid on hand.
