Play dough is not a food, but this is edible if you’re REALLY hungry:
- 2 cups flour
1 cup salt
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
2 cups cold water
Food coloring
Combine flour, salt, vegetable oil, cream of tartar and water in a medium saucepan.
Cook uncovered over medium heat until the dough is the consistency of mashed potatoes (5 min).
Divide the dough into 4 equal parts;add about 10 drops of food coloring to each portion and knead the dough to distribute the color.
The play dough can be stored in an airtight plastic bag for a long time.
Have fun with it! My kids worked it for about 2 hours from start to finish – pounding is therapeutic
