Courtesy of WikiHow:

INGREDIENTS:

• 4 cups of plain flour
• 4 cups of water
• 2 cups of fine salt
• 4 tbsp of cooking oil (or cream of tartar)
• Food coloring (optional), Kool-aid powder (use different flavors for different colors and aromas)

DIRECTIONS:

1. Gather the necessary ingredients and mix the dry ingredients together. Add food coloring to the water.
2. This optional step will create colored play dough. Put the water in a different bowl if color is to be added.
3. Mix all of the ingredients in a large pan and heat it over medium heat.
4. Stir constantly until the dough feels like stiff, smooth, mashed potatoes.
5. Take it off the stove once the mixture has a stiff consistency. Let it cool and knead it until it is blended smoothly.

The only limit to what you can make is your imaginationStore the dough in an airtight container, such as a plastic bag.
