Cooking up some playdough today and I thought I would post the recipe I have if anyone wants to try it themselves!

Nature's Playdough
1 cup flour
1/2 cup salt
1 cup water
2 tablespoons oil
2 tablespoons cream of tartar
beet, spinach, and carrot juice
In a pot mix flour, tartar, salt and oil, and slowly add the water. Cook over medium heat, stirring until dough becomes stiff. Turn out onto wax paper and let cool. Knead the playdough with your hands until of proper consistency. Use as is, or divide into balls and add a few drops of the vegetable juices to make green, pink, and orange.
You can of course just use food colouring too, and may I suggest the gel colouring if you do. Seems like it would be easier. By the time you're done kids will be happy and you'll look like you've been picking poison berries all day. Why poison? If you have to ask then clearly you have not made any poison berry jam lately. It gets everywhere! Almost like it wants to leave evidence...
