::no fail...no cook::

...so simple...play-dough!!!

this recipe was graciously shared with me by my kindred friend...and we've been loving it ever since!!

so...give it a try, and just see if you're not hooked...to it's simplicity, to it's smell, and to it's ability to keep a child occupied for an unusually long amount of time:)


for an individual amount (double if you want to share)

1 c flour
1 pkg kool aid (the tiny envelopes that are concentrated)
2 Tbsp cream of tartar (do NOT try making it without this! - but you don't HAVE to have this exact amount)
1/2 c salt
1 c boiling water
1-2 Tbsp oil

1. mix all the dry ingredients
2. add the oil to the boiling water
3. make a well and pour the water into the dry ingredients
4. STIR, STIR, STIR... it is in this stir that you work the flour to a smooth consistency and activate the tartar...
5. gather it all up into a big smelly ball
6. ENJOY!!

...so simple!!
