Microwave Playdough Recipe
A recipe I had to share because it actually works (and it's edible in case they put it in their mouths, as they tend to do!)

2 cups flour
1 cup salt
15g cream of tartar
1/2 - 1 bottle food colouring + boiling water to make up 2 cups
3 Tbsp cooking oil

1. Place dry ingredients in a bowl and mix together.
2 Mix liquids together and add to dry ingredients and mix well.
3. Microwave on high for 4 minutes.
4. As soon as it is cool enough to handle, knead well. It will be sticky, but the more you knead the less sticky and more doughy it will become. Store in an airtight container and it will last for ages - just knead every time you take it out to soften it again!
