Colorful Play Dough

We made our own play dough. the boys helped me mix it up, then I cooked it on the stove.

They gave each color play dough a name, green is Slime, orange is Sunset, blue is Aqua, and purple is One Eyed Monster.

The recipe we used-

2 cups flour
1/2 cup salt
2 cups water
2 tablespoons oil

2 tablespoons cream of tartar

Food coloring

Mix all ingredients thorougly in a pot. Cook over medium heat, stiring constantly, until dough clumps together and is no longer sticky. Remove from pot and knead well. After dough is cool enough for little fingers, enjoy play!

I made four batches of this recipe, so each of my kids and one friend could have a nice size ball of each color.
