1/2 c. flour
1/4 c. salt
1/2 c. water with food coloring added
1 tsp. cream of tartar
1/2 tbsp. oil
Oil flavoring for scented play dough (optional)

Mix all together in medium saucepan. Cook, stirring constantly over medium heat until ball forms. Don't let it get too dry. This doesn't take long to cook. You may add cinnamon or peppermint oils to add a scent to the play dough. Be sure to use non-toxic, edible flavorings in case the children happen to eat some of it.
