I've been meaning to make play dough for a long time. I tried before Christmas, but the recipe I tried didn't work, and it used a lot of ingredients. Last week I tried a new recipe from teachnet.com and was very happy with it! Juniper plays with it at least twice a day. (Not quite sure why it is called "Earth Friendly", but makes me feel good about making it!)
Earth Friendly Play Dough
1 cup flour (not self-rising)
1/2 cup salt
1 cup water
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1-1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
Mix in saucepan over low heat. (It does not have to heat long.) Dough is ready when it rolls into a ball. Keep dough fresh in an airtight container. If you need to make different colors, add food coloring while mixing over heat.

Thought I'd post little blurbs about what I've been up to . . .
Thanks for visiting. . . . . come back soon.

For some reason I've found a recipe like this to be my most successful play-dough as well. It must be the cream of tartar or something. I need to make some - Isaac especially wants to play with play-dough all the time!
When you were little, I always made play-dough from the More With Less cookbook. Seems like a similar recipe, but I haven't looked at it lately. :) Mom
Thanks, Mom and Sis. I am going to check out the recipe in the More With Less cookbook. . . . .
Welcome back Hillary. I've missed hearing what you're up to.
