Yummy! I love making scented play dough because it sure smells a lot better than the normal salty kind. Just be careful because the little ones like to try to eat it (although I did this with the normal kind when I was little). 😉 Below you will find directions to make 2 different scents. Enjoy!

DIY Play Dough

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 cup Flour
• 2 tsp Cream of Tartar
• 1/2 cup Salt
• 1 cup Water
• 1 1/2 tbsp Vegetable Oil
• Food Coloring (optional)

DIRECTIONS:

1. In a Medium Sized Pan whisk together your Flour, Salt and Cream of Tartar
2. Add Water and Oil.
3. Add Food Coloring if desired.
4. Wisk until you have a smooth consistency with no lumps.
5. Place your pan over low heat and stir constantly until your mixture thickens. This will take 3-5 minutes and you will need a strong arm. When you have a big ball/lump, your dough is finished.
6. Knead your dough for a minute or two.
7. Store in a Sealed container.
