Best Homemade Playdough Recipe
I humbly offer you the best playdough recipe ever.  Costs about $1 a batch; one batch makes about 3 cups of playdough- plenty for several kids to play with.

Homemade Playdough
2 c. water – heated to boiling in microwave
4 t. cream of tartar   
1 c. salt
4 T. oil (baby, vegetable, or canola)
2-3 c. flour
Mix together in metal dish with metal spoon until well blended.  Turn onto floured surface to finish mixing.  Store in an airtight container like ziploc or tupperware.  Will last for months.
Optional add ins:
Add food coloring or gels.  Swap out ½c. flour, swap in 1/2c. cocoa powder – will smell and look like chocolate.  Add in spices like cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice.  Mix will a packet of Kool Aid, grape works especially well.  Add in extract like vanilla, peppermint, orange, etc.  Add in glitter.
