Play dough - the easiest way ever…
Use your normal recipe:
1 cup Flour
2 teaspoons of Cream of Tartar
1/2 cup of Salt
1 tablespoon Oil
Food colouring
1 cup of BOILING water.

Put all dry ingredients in a bowl. Add food colouring and oil to boiling water. Then simply mix together, it may not form a big ball to start with but just keep bringing it together as it cools. Make sure it is cooled completely before your children start playing.

It takes all the hard stirring out of making play dough, as you do not require a stove to make it, and saves time and energy.
