Making Play-dough

I've been looking all over this morning trying to find the recipe of the play-dough I made with the boys last spring. Finally, I found it! It was in the May 2009 issue of High Five magazine (Highlights for preschoolers). I thought I'd save it on here, so I know where to find it next time!

Ingredients:
packet of unsweetened drink mix (Kool-Aid or any brand)
2 cups flour
2 Tbs. vegetable oil
1 cup salt
4 tsp. cream of tartar

1. In a bowl: mix together 2 cups of water, the drink mix, and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil.

2. In a saucepan: mix together 2 cups of flour, 1 cup of salt, and 4 teaspoons of cream of tartar.

3. Slowly add the liquid from the bowl into the saucepan. Stir.

4. Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it looks like mashed potatoes. Remove the dough from the pot to cool.

5. When the dough is cool, knead it until smooth. This sweet-smelling dough will last a long time if you store it in a covered container. (Our last batch lasted almost 6 months!)
