Want a cheap, quick and fun way to entertain the little ones? Make your own Play Dough in minutes with this easy recipe:

• 300g of plain flour
• 4 tablespoons of cream of tartar
• 2 tablespoons of sunflower oil
• 225g of salt
• 480ml of boiling water
• Food colouring

Just mix it all together in a bowl, then knead it by hand to bring it all together.

Add peppermint oil for a lovely smell and even longer lasting Play Dough.
Make as many colours as you like and even add glitter if you like.  Store in Tupperware or Zip Lock sandwich bags to keep fresh.

And, voila! Hours of fun with the little people at a fraction of the cost…
