weekly diy: homemade play-doh!

Really bored? Let's make play-doh.

Materials needed: 2 cups flour, 2 cups warm water, 1 cup salt, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, 1 tablespoon cream of tartar, food coloring (your choice of colors), scented oils (oo baby)

Tools needed: stove-top burner, mixing bowl, a child's imagination.

Its quite simple: throw all your ingredients into the mixing bowl, stir 'em up. Put your concoction over low heat, heat until it resembles mashed potatoes. Let it cool. Glop the dough on a counter top, and roll vigorously into balls. Create a dimple in each ball and place your desired food coloring, and work the color into the dough (use gloves for this). Work the oils in so it doesn't smell so weird. Then play to your heart's content.

Here's the instructable.
