Clear an area you don’t mind getting a little dirty and put on some old clothes. Remember the preparation is half the fun! Be prepared to make a mess…
1 cup plain flour
half cup salt
2 tbsp cream of tartar
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 cup water with food colouring added
1 tsp vanilla essence (optional but makes the play-dough smell nice)
Put all the ingredients into a large saucepan, and stir over a medium heat until the dough forms into a ball. Allow to cool, and then knead until smooth.
Store in an airtight container (Ziploc bag with the air pressed out is good). When ready to use, you will need a rolling pin and biscuit shape cutters. Have fun!
NB. Play-dough is not for consumption for humans or animals.
