    I use the recipe on the cream of tartar box too. But I don't cook it, I put everything in a bowl, boil the kettle and add the water boiling. Mix it up and it's done.
    same here. a kinder teacher suggested doing it this way & it works a treat. her advice too was to go easy on the salt & add more if you need it. she reckoned that it was tough to come back from too much salt so better to be too little & add more!

    ours lasts for ages - would definitely last for longer if i always remembered to put it away

    2 cups plain flour
    4tbs cream of tartar
    2tbs cooking oil
    1 cup salt
    2 cups water
    Food colouring

    Mix ingredients in a saucepan, stir over medium heat for 3-5mins or until mixture congeals.

    I normally add the food colouring after it's mixed as i like to split it to make different colours.

    I also add a few drops of lavender oil to my playdough mixture at the end and it gives a beautiful fragrance as we're playing with it.

    Thankyou all for your responses, I made two double batches and split it to make four colours and have been storing it in zip lock bags, also making it in a bowl was really easy and just adding the boiled water
