Easy Play Clay

*Minimal Cooking
Make two batches, red and green, so kids can design their own holiday decorations. We think this makes a great adult gift, too. Send out along with party invitations for the New Year and give out prizes for the best creations.

Quantity: About 2 cups

Storing: Store in airtight containers in a cool place.

Ingredients
1 cup flour
1 cup salt
1 tablespoon cream of tartar
1 tablespoon oil
1 cup water
food coloring
1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract

Instructions
Combine all ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly for 3 to 5 minutes, until mixture forms a ball. When cool, knead until smooth. Divide into balls and place in airtight containers.
