This play dough recipe is the EASIEST and results in play dough just like you'd buy at the store! Bonus because you can make it any color you like AND add things like glitter and sequins if you want!
Recipe:
1 cup water
1/2 cup salt
1 tbsp cream of tartar
1 tbsp oil
food coloring
1 cup flour
Mix everything but the flour in a saucepan over medium heat until it's warm. Remove from heat and stir in the flour. It should come together into a dough at which point you can remove and knead until smooth. If it doesn't come together, return to heat and warm a bit further.
Add things like glitter or sequins or essential oils to customize!
