* 1 cup white flour
* 1/4 cup salt
* 2 tablespoons cream of tartar
* 1 cup water
* 1/2 teaspoon food coloring
* 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
* 8-15 drops orange essential oil of orange
* Medium pot or large skillet
* Plastic bag or airtight container
In preheated pot or skillet, combine flour, salt and cream of tartar. Add water, food coloring and oils, and stir until smooth. Continue to stir over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes. When the mixture forms a ball in the center of the pot, turn off the stove and let it cool. Remove dough from pot and place on floured surface.
Knead the dough before storing in a plastic bag or airtight container. Note: You could also do this with nearly any essential oil – including Nasal-Clearing Eucalyptus if your child is home sick with a cold!
