Fantastic Recipes for Fall Playdough
This recipe is one of my favorites for homemade playdough. You will need:
- 1 cup flour

- 1 Tbsp. cooking oil
- 1 Tbsp. cream of tartar
- 1 cup water

Put on a cutting board or counter to cool. Knead playdough mixture until smooth. Add a few drops of essential oil, if desired.
