6 tsp. cream of tartar
3 cups water

to fingers.

1/2 cup salt
2 packages unsweetened koolaid
1 tsp. alum

Mix in large bowl, then add:
2 cups boiling water
3 tbsp. oil

Mix well using spoon or hand. Knead on lightly floured surface. If too sticky, add
more flour but not too much. set aside to cool. Store in tightly covered container.
Do NOT refrigerate.

Peanut Butter Play Dough
This is even more fun than regular play dough because you can eat it and it
tastes good.

Take a big jar of Peanut Butter. Spoon out some big globs into a bowl. Then
pour in a few spoonfuls of honey. Now add some Powdered milk (either instant or
non-instant type). Start mixing it all up with your hands. Keep adding the
powdered milk until it makes a good dough. (For chocolate flavor, you can add
some cocoa or carob powder.)

Now you can mold it into any shape you like... or, roll it out and cut out shapes
with cookie cutters. It's also fun to make designs on your shapes with raisins.
