This recipe makes one batch of red playdough. For the white, make the same recipe but leave out the food coloring.

Add flour, cream of tartar, and salt in a medium size bowl, mix well.

To the boiling water, add the oil, 3-5 drops of peppermint extract,
and 10-12 drops of red food coloring.

Pour immediately into the dry ingredients and mix together.

Once it is all mixed, take out and place on a flour surface. Knead
for 2-3 minutes until it’s no longer sticky. Add more flour if
needed, but not too much. *The playdough will be a little hot so make
sure an adult is supervising.

Have fun playing and when done, store in an air-tight container or
large baggie for up to a week.
