1 Cup plain flour
1/2 Cup table salt
1 Teaspoon cream of tartar
1 Cup water
2 Teaspoons cooking oil
1 Teaspoon food colouring - optional
• Combine the flour, half a cup of salt and the cream of tartar in a saucepan.
• Cook over a low-medium heat, gradually pouring in the cup of water, cooking oil and food colouring (optional).
• Stir continually to stop the mixture sticking to the sides or burning. It will form a sticky ball.
• Remove from the heat and leave for half an hour, or until the dough has cooled, before allowing the child to play with it.
