Recipe for play

Further to all the recent letters with recipes for playdough, I am a childminder and this recipe works great for me. Use one cup of water, one cup of plain flour, two tablespoons of cream of tartar, half a cup of salt, and one tablespoon of cooking oil. Add food colouring to suit.

I keep it in a plastic bag in the fridge and it lasts ages.
