Safety Warning: Adult supervision is required.



What You Will Need:

• 1 cup Flour
• 1/2 cup Salt
• 2 teaspoons Cream of Tartar
• 2 tablespoons Cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons Allspice
• 2 tablespoons Nutmeg
• 2 teaspoons Cooking Oil
• 1 cup Water
• Mixing Bowl
• Mixing Spoon
• Sealable Plastic Storage Bags

What You Do:

• Mix flour, salt, cream of tartar, cinnamon, allspice, and nutmeg in a large mixing bowl. (NOTE: You can adjust the spices until you have the scent you want. The spices also add the color for the dough.)
• Add water and oil to the dry ingredients and stir well.
• Pour mixture into a large pot and heat the mixture on low heat for about 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
• When the dough begins to form, remove from heat and carefully knead the dough until it is smooth. (The dough will be hot, so you might want to let it cool slightly before kneading.)
• When the dough is cool, it is ready to play with!
• Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for future play. (We've stored this dough in the refrigerator for over a year, taking it out frequently to play with.)

Variations:

• Children love to play with this unique dough - the texture and scent is very calming. Give children cookie cutters to use with the dough to form characters.
• We like to make this play dough as holiday gifts for children. Seal the dough in a plastic storage bag, then put the bag inside a decorative container. Tie a festive ribbon around the container, add a gift tag, and you have a nice gift to give a child.
