A good friend tipped me to this great Play Dough recipe that is not too salty, didn't dry out our hands, or dry out in a few days. It's perfect for playing inside while the cold weather passes and to keep your kiddos from boredom or too much tv.
homemade play doughIngredients:
3 c. flour
3 c. boiling water
1 1/2 c. salt
6 tsp cream of tartar
3 TBS oil
food coloring
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, mix together flour, salt, cream of tartar and oil.
2. Add boiling water and mix well. You can knead dough on floured surface until no longer sticky (do not add too much flour or dough will dry out).
3. store in air tight container or ziploc bags.

We've used that recipe and it's great. Another great one that smells fantastic is:
Jello Playdough
1 c. flour
1/2 c. salt
2 Tbsp. cream of tartar
2 Tbsp. oil
1 c. water
1 small box Jello (any flavor/color)
Put all the ingredients in a saucepan and mix. Stir continuously over medium heat until forms and changes color slightly. Remove from heat, let cool a bit, then knead well. Store in an airtight container.
