Play Dough Recipe

Mrs. Turlington needs play dough for a project in STEM, so several students volunteered to make some for our class (due BY next Wednesday).  I didn't have enough copies for everyone, so here is the recipe.

1 cup flour
1/2 cup salt
1 cup water
2 TBS vegetable oil
2 tsp cream of tartar
food coloring (optional)  (*She needs either plain or pale yellow.)

Mix all ingredients well in a non-stick pan.  Over medium heat stir constantly until the dough clings together away from the sides of the pan.  Form into a ball and store in a sealed plastic bag or container.  (Does not need to be refrigerated.)
