Here is a quick and easy recipe for homemade play-dough. It's non-toxic and you can make any color you want! You don't have to buy it all the time or put up with the smell.

Ingredients
- 2½ cups water
- 1¼ cups kosher salt
- 1½ tablespoon cream of tartar
- 5 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour
- food coloring
Instructions
- Mix everything but the food coloring in a large pot. It will be a little lumpy but will smooth out. Cook over low heat, mixing the entire time. It will start to resemble dough, keep mixing until the water has disappeared and it feels like play-dough. Remove from heat and allow to cool enough to touch.
- Place the dough on the counter (or a board that won't absorb food coloring) and knead until it’s smooth. Divide into 4 or 5 sections, add color and continue to knead until it's all incorporated.
Notes
- You can store the dough in a ziplock bag for a few months. (Unless your dog eats it, see photo below. LOL!)
