Play Dough

I have this great book called "Feed Me, I'm Yours" by Vicki Lansky. It has tons of baby food recipes, teething biscuits, crafts, and cleaning tips. One of my favorite recipes is the play dough. If this play dough is kept in a sealed container it will last up to a year! It's not greasy like the store bought play dough and does not get stuck in carpet as easily.

Play Dough (stove-top recipe)
Mix in Medium Pot:
1 C white flour
1/4 C salt
2 T Cream of Tarter
Combine and add:
1 C water
2 t vegetable food coloring
1 T oil
Cook over medium heat and stir (about 3-5 minutes). It will look like a "globby" mess and you'll be sure it's not turning out . . . but it will. When it forms a ball in the center of the pot, turn out and knead on a lightly floured surface. Store in an airtight container or plastic bag. This is edible, but not tasty.

For a tasty play dough treat try this:
Mix 1 (18 oz) jar of peanut butter
6 T honey
non-fat dry milk (as much is needed to make the right consistency)
