1 1/2 cups salt                               6 teaspoons cream of tarter (or alum)

3 cups all purpose flour                  3 tablespoons cooking oil

3 cups water

     Mix all ingredients in a large, heavy pan.  Cook over low heat, stirring constantly.  Mixture will become stiff.  Keep stirring until mixture cleans pan like play dough.  (This is a really good exercise for your arms!)  Remove from heat; knead like bread until pliable as it cools.  (It should not be gooey or sticking to your fingers.)  Store in a plastic bag.  Doesn't need to be refrigerated.  Please do not add food coloring.  We will paint them when they dry.  THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!
