Red playdoh

We made red playdoh yesterday (ingredients below) and the children had a great time playing with it today. 

Playdoh recipe (really easy and no cooking required!)

• 2 cups plain flour
• 1 cup salt
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons cream of tartar
• 2 cups boiling water

Combine all dry ingredients together.  Add oil and mix together.  Add boiling water and food colouring or natural fragrance, i.e. peppermint, lemon. Mix together.  If too wet, add more flour, if too dry add more water.  To make a chocolatey dough you can also add cocoa to the dry mix before adding oil and water. 

This makes quite a lot of dough so for just one child I'm sure half would be plenty.
