Make Playdough

PLAY DOUGH FOR KIDS
(Not To Eat)

1/2 c. salt
1 c. hot water with food color
1 c. flour
2 Tbsp. cream of tartar
1 Tbsp. oil

Mix everything in saucepan over medium heat. Stir until
it makes 1 large clump and pulls away from sides. Take out and
knead for 1 minute. Food flavoring can also be added, pepper-
mint, etc. (Doubling the recipe works out fine.) Store in an airtight container.

Creatively wrapped, this makes an excellent Christmas gift for your kids' friends.

EDIBLE PLAY-DOUGH

2 C. flour
4 C. oatmeal
1 C. water
1 C. white corn syrup
1 C. peanut butter
1 1/4 C. nonfat powdered milk
1 1/4 C. powdered sugar

Combine flour and oatmeal in a blender, and set on "grind" speed for one minute. Add water and knead. Add corn syrup, peanut butter, powdered milk, and powdered sugar. Knead well. Add more flour if dough is too sticky. Kids can add chocolate chips, peanuts, shelled sunflower seeds, or candy bar pieces to add interest and detail to their sculptures.
