Never fail play dough recipe


1 cup flour
1 cup beet cooking water, spinach cooking water, or onion skin cooking water...or water
1/2 cup salt
2 tsp cream of tartar
2 tbsp cooking oil - I usually use grapeseed oil

If you want to get fancy add a few drops of essential oil when you knead it

Put in a pot on the stove on medium
Stir constantly til it thickens
Let it cool til you can handle it
Knead

Stores really well in a closed container.

This is a lovely soft playdough, just right for first dough experiences with little ones, it doesn't dry out quickly, it doesn't dry out little hands, and it isn't gritty like a lot of homemade doughs. We love this dough.

Takes less than 10 minutes to make.




But it doesn't taste good!

Dark Mirror is somewhere in Wild Thing's face here ... the tilt of the chin ... the expression in the eyes maybe ...
