Homemade Playdough

A friend of mine gave me this recipe for homemade playdough, it's easy to make and lasts a long time.

1 cup water
1 Tbls. vegetable oil
1/2 cup salt
1 Tbls. cream of tartar
Food coloring
1 cup flour

In a medium saucepan, combine the water, oil, salt, cream of tartar, and your choice of food color. Heat till warm (watch close and don't overheat). Remove from heat and add flour. Stir, and knead till it's smooth.

Store in an airtight container or a Ziplock freezer bag. It will last 6 months or longer. (don't omit the cream of tartar, that's what makes it last so long)
