Ingredients:

• 2-3 cups Flour
  
• 1 and 1/2 cups Salt
  
• 2-3 cups Water
  
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
  
• 1 tablespoons Cream of tartar
  
• few drops Food coloring few drops

Procedure:

1. Mix ALL of the ingredients in a large saucepan.
2. Cook over medium low heat, until the dough comes away from the edges of the pan and it becomes difficult to move the spoon.
3. Remove from heat. Cool until it can be handled.
4. Place on counter or wax paper knead 3-4 times.
5. Store in an air tight container.

Science:
When we make playdoh, it's hot, so when we touch it, it's squishy. But, if we leave it out and let it cool, the molecules packs up and then it hardens, so when we touch it, it is hard.
