Playdough

You Will Need:

* 2 cups flour * 2 cups water * 2 Tbsp Cream of Tartar * 2 Tbsp Oil * 1 cup salt * Red food colouring (I use Wiltshire for the vibrant colour!) * a Maple Leaf cookie cutter * Optional: red glitter

Mix the dry ingredients together. Add the water and oil. Cook over medium-low heat until the dough no longer looks wet. Allow the dough to rest for 1 minute away from heat. Knead in the food colouring.

Once your playdough is ready, colour about 2/3rds of it red and leave the rest uncoloured. Create a Canadian flag for your child out of playdough to catch their attention!

This recipe makes a really soft and easy to manipulate dough. It also lasts for over a month if kept stored in a plastic bag.
