Fun with Playdough

Ever made your own playdough?  It's super easy!  And you probably have everything you need at home already.  Though it was a bit messy, we had a lot of fun making our own playdough.  Once it was made we customized it with food coloring.   See below for the materials and instructions.  Enjoy!

Ingredients
    3 cups boiling water
    3 cups flour
    1 1/2 cups salt
    1 1/2 tbs vegetable oil
    3 tsp cream of tartar

Directions
    Mix all ingredients except for the flour in a large bowl.
    Once well mixed, add flour.
    Stir continuously until the dough leaves the sides of the bowl.
    Once well mixed, remove from bowl and knead on floured surface.
    If the dough is too sticky, add more flour.
    Store in an airtight container and refrigerate.
    Color with food coloring if desired.
