Playdough and Rainy Days

I don't know about anyone else in the fraser valley but I'd love to see some more sunshine in these quarters! I don't normally complain about rain but I am starting to miss going for walks with the kids and playing outside. This past week we went to Go Bananas and U-Play in Abbotsford but those can add up fast! Today we decided to make playdough for a rainy day activity. Here's the recipe...

Playdough!
3 cups flour
1 cup salt
6 tsp cream of tartar
3 cups water
3 tbsp oil
food colouring
Mix flour, salt, cream of tartar in saucepan. Blend water and oil together in bowl. Add to saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring contantly till it thickens. Cook and stir for 5 mins until you honetly can't stir anymore! Take out of pan and knead on surface adding extra flour if needed. Divide into even balls and colour with food coloring. I use professional cake colouring but you can use the liquid too just might have to add extra flour to it. Can last for months and you know what is in it in case they eat it :)
