Nature's Playdough

Here is a great recipe for homemade playdough made with natural ingredients, so you don't have to worry if your little one tries to eat it, like mine does from time to time.

1 Cup Flour
1/2 Cup Salt
1 Cup Water
2 Tablespoons Oil (I used EVOO)
2 Tablespoons Cream of Tartar
Beet, Spinach, and/or Carrot Juices (Optional)

Mix flour, salt, oil and cream of tartar. Slowly add water. Cook over medium heat, stirring until dough stiffens and begins to pull away from pan. Turn out onto wax paper and let cool. Knead the playdough with your hands until proper consistency. Use as is, or divide into balls and add a few drops of vegetable juices to make green, pink or orange.

Here's my little Buddy playing with his playdough. (I keep mine undyed right now, because he gets it everywhere.)
