Colored playdough

In janelle's school, they have playdough classes n they played with those home made playdough in case any of the child eats it. I asked the teacher for recipe n tried to make some for janelle.

Today is my first attempt n it is a successful one. Easy n good, so thinking to share it with my blog reader the recipe.

Colored playdough
1cup water
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 cup salt
1 tablespoon cream of tartar (optional)
Food coloring
1 cup flour

1. Combine water, veg oil, cream of tartar and food coloring in a saucepan n heat until warm.
2. Remove from heat and add flour
3. Stir, then knead until smooth

** cream of tartar makes this dough long lasting - up to six months or longer. So resist the temptation to leave it out if u don't have it
** this dough should be stored in an airtight container or ziploc bag
** do not refrigerate

A note: 1 cup = 250 ml. the color of the dough will be lighter as compare the solution... So, if u want a darker color, u might need to add more coloring. I choose green for janelle cos I tot green would be a better color for eyes sight.
