1 c. flour
1/2 c. salt
2 tsp. cream of tartar
2 tbsp. salad oil
1 c. water
A few drops of food coloring (any color)

Cook all ingredients over medium heat for about 3 minutes or until a ball is formed and pulls away from sides of pan. Stir constantly. Remove from heat. If more color is desired knead in a few more drops of food coloring. Store in airtight container. (Mixture will be quite warm when first removed from pan - handle carefully and let cool before allowing children to play with it.)
