Inside fun and...when stunts go wrong

Happiness is...




Playing with homemade playdough when it's still warm.
Here's the recipe:
1 C salt
1/4 C oil
1 1/2 tblspoons cream of tartar
2 C flour
1C cornflour
food colouring
2 1/2 C freshly boiled water
Put everything except flour in a large bowl or pot, add flour one cup at a time stirring vigorously.
This worked perfectly first time for me, it was so easy. Keep stirring if there are lumps and they will disappear. The cornflour (a secret trick from my Mother-in-law!) makes it really silky.
I made ours a few weeks ago and it is still good as new kept in a plastic bag in an ice-cream container. Hours of fun!
