Create your own colorful and fun play dough at home with this simple and quick recipe.
Combine the flour, salt, and cream of tartar in a saucepan.
Mixing the dry ingredients first ensures even distribution.
Add the warm water and vegetable oil to the saucepan and stir until smooth.
Stir continuously to avoid lumps.
Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and forms a dough.
Keep stirring to prevent the dough from sticking to the pan.
Remove the dough from the heat and let it cool slightly. Knead until smooth.
Kneading while warm makes the dough smoother.
Divide the dough into portions and add food coloring to each, kneading until the color is evenly distributed.
Use gloves to avoid staining your hands.
Store the play dough in an airtight container to keep it fresh.
Proper storage prevents the dough from drying out.
