Snowman Play-Dough (Leisa)

1 cup flour

1/2 cup salt

2 tsp. cream of tartar

1 cup water

1 tsp vegetable oil

glitter (opt.)

Mix the dry ingredients.  Mix water and oil together in separate bowl

and then add them to the dry ingredients.  In a pot, cook the mixture

for 3-5 minutes on medium heat stirring constantly.  The dough will

start to pull away from the sides of the pot and stick together in a large

ball.  Take the dough out and add glitter if desired.  Knead it until it

becomes soft and smooth.  Allow the dough to cool and store in an

airtight container.

Variations:

Candy Cane Play Dough

Add red food coloring and a few drops of peppermint oil.

Gingerbread Play Dough

Add 1 TBS. cinnamon, 1/2 tsp. nutmeg, and 1/2 tsp. cloves to dry ingredients before cooking.  Careful...it smells yummy, but doesn't taste very good!
