Pat it and roll it ...

Did you know making play dough is super easy and cheap? Plus, when you make your own play dough, you know what your children are eating.
Ok, I guess that's still kinda gross, but fun too.

In medium saucepan combine:
1 Cup flour
1/4 Cup salt
2 T. cream of tarter

In separate bowl combine:
1 Cup water
2 tsp. food coloring
1 Tbsp. vegetable oil

Add to flour mixture

Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until dough forms a ball. (I had to knead it afterward to mix the food coloring.) Store at room temperature in a plastic bag or air tight container.
