Classroom Playdough

Lets play with playdough, it's not only for little children, bigger children like to play with it too.....Here is the playdough recipe I use and it makes a good sized quantity of playdough.

• 6 cups of boiling water
• 5 1/2 cups of flour
• 1/2 cup of dye
• 2 cups of salt
• 1/2 cup of oil
• 3 Dessertspoons of Cream of Tarter

Put all your dry ingredients into a large bowl. Mix the oil and dye together. I use liquid dye which is safe for children to use. Then add the oil and dye mix to the boiled water. Next pour your liquid into the dry ingredients, take care not to burn yourself. Mix all ingredients together with a large wooden spoon. When it has started to combine and come together to form a loose dough start using your hands to mix. Next tip the dough out on a floured board and knead until it is the right texture.
