MATERIALS:
• 1 1/2 Tablespoon Cream of Tartar
• 1 1/2 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil (Canola oil works too)
• Plastic Hearts, Glitter, Red Heart Confetti
• 3/4 Cups Salt
• 1 1/2Cups Flour
• 1 1/2 Cups Water
• Red Food Coloring
DIRECTIONS:
1. Combine all dry ingredients and mix. This includes cream
of tartar, salt, and flour (also Kool-Aid powder if using as a
substitute for red food dye).
2. In a separate bowl combine wet ingredients. This includes
vegetable oil, food coloring, and water.
3. In a medium sized pot, combine wet and dry ingredients, and
stir on low-medium heat until it starts to stick together like
mashed potatoes. (2 - 4 Minutes)
4. Once that occurs, turn the heat off and wait for it to cool
enough for you to touch without it burning.
5. Place all of it on a floured cutting board and knead until it’s
the right consistency of playdough.
6. Add the confetti sparkles or heart pieces and fold them into
the playdough.
Tip: If you don’t like red food dye, use a packet of a drinking
powder like Cherry Kool Aid to get a red colored playdough.
This adds a slight scent to it as well.
