This is a recipe that was given to me many years ago by a Montessori school teacher and works fabulously. If stored  in an air tight container or in a plastic bag in the fridge it can last up to 3 months. Its also a great activity your kids can get involved in. I started making it when my kids were about 2yrs old and still make it now and then for my 13 yr old!

Here goes:

Ingredients:

1 cup salt
2 cups flour
4 tsps cream of tartar
2 tbl oil
2 cups water
flour
food colouring

The finished product is glorious to touch and play with. You’ll find it hard to resist!
