Play Dough Recipe for Sculptures
Have fun! Make a form then squash it and try something new. Sculptures will dry but are very fragile.
Ingredients:
1-cup flour
½ cup salt
1-tablespoon oil
1-tablespoon cream of tartar
1-cup water
Optional food coloring/ flavor extracts
Directions:
Over low heat mix salt, flour, and cream of tartar. Mix in vegetable oil, food coloring, and water while stirring. Once the dough balls together place it on a floured surface and knead together until dough consistency. If the dough is sticky add more four.
