Peppermint Playdough.

Ingredients:

2 cup water

food coloring

2 T. vegetable oil

1 c. salt

4 t. cream of tartar

4 t. peppermint extract

2 cups flour

Combine all ingredients in large pan on stove. Over medium heat, stir until most of the lumps disappear and the mixture thickens up to a dough-like consistency. On countertop, knead like bread dough. Dough will be hot-- let mom knead it to the right consistency, separate into a few different dough-balls and let cool for about 10 minutes before letting the kids handle it. Store in an air-tight container.

I could play with playdough for hours. : )
