When I think of crafts I think of anything you can create with your own two hands.  So, I guess play dough is lumped into that category.  I love making play dough instead of buying it because I know what’s in it.  If your children like to nibble on play dough, you’ll feel better having these around instead of store bought. 

Flour 3cups
Salt 1 1/2 cups
Water 3 cups
Vegetable Oil 2TB.
Cream of tartar 1TB.
unsweetened “Kool-Aid” colored drink mix 1pkg. This adds color and makes makes the play dough smell good.

Mix ALL of the ingredients in a large saucepan.  Cook over medium low heat, until the dough thickens and comes away from the edges of the pan.  Remove from heat.  Cool until it can be handled.Place on counter or wax paper knead 3-4 times or until the batter is smooth.  Store in an air tight container.
