My 4-year old "volunteered" me to make playdough for her preschool class. I probably could have said no, but I went ahead and scheduled it into my calendar. Then I promptly forgot about it. Sunday afternoon, when the alarm sounded and I realized it was time to fulfill this obligation, I didn't stop to consider if I even had the ingredients on hand. And that's where things got interesting. Original Recipe1/2 cup salt 1 cup flour 2 TBSP cream of tartar 1 cup water 1 TBSP oil food coloring I had exactly enough vegetable oil and cream of tartar to make 1 batch. But that single batch was, um, a quarter of what I'd promised to bring. So, in a rush (because the baby was sleeping and I wanted to get done during her nap), I got online and searched for "homemade playdough without tartar." There was more than one to choose from.

I recommend......making the original recipe for use by preschoolers. My daughter's teachers agree the degree of stickiness of the non-tartar recipe was too much. If you try out the recipes, I'd love to hear which one worked best for you and why. I certainly liked that non-tartar recipe but it wasn't right for my situation. However not having to buy cream of tartar for this one thing would be nice! Another post about Playdough -- my kids seriously to love it.
