Vanilla Play Dough

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup salt
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
2 tablespoons oil
2 cups water
Food coloring
Vanilla extract

Measure out the dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl and then stir them together thoroughly. Put the dry ingredients into a saucepan with the oil, water, food coloring and vanilla extract. Stir continuously over low heat until a dough forms.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured pastry board and knead while the mixture cools. Continue to knead for 5 to 10 minutes. If the mixture is too day, occasionally dampen your hands while kneading. If it is too sticky, dust the mixture with a little extra flour.

Store play dough in a plastic container with an airtight lid.
