Quick and easy play-dough recipe

Here’s a quick and easy play-dough recipe you can make at home with common ingredients:

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup salt
• 1 tablespoon cream of tartar (optional, but adds elasticity)
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or coconut oil)
• 1.5 cups boiling water
• Food coloring (optional)

Instructions:

1. Mix Dry Ingredients:
   In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and cream of tartar.
2. Add Oil and Coloring:
   Add the vegetable oil to the dry ingredients. If using food coloring, mix it into the boiling water first to ensure even coloring.
3. Add Boiling Water:
   Slowly pour the boiling water into the dry mixture while stirring with a spoon.
4. Knead the Dough:
   Once the dough cools slightly, knead it with your hands until it becomes smooth and pliable. If the dough feels too sticky, add a little more flour.
5. Store Properly:
   Store the play-dough in an airtight container or ziplock bag to keep it soft for weeks.

Optional Add-Ins:

• Scents: Add vanilla extract, cinnamon, or essential oils for a fun sensory experience.
• Glitter: Sprinkle in some glitter for sparkly play-dough.
