Playdough

This recipe stolen from Jill.
I don't think it's intended to be eaten, but Amelia is likely to sample it.

Best Playdough
from this link, modified here to show what I did
In a deep saucepan (3 quart or so):
2 cups flour
1/2 cup salt
2 tsp. cream of tartar
Add:
2 cup water
2 Tbsp oil Whisk until smooth.
Cook over medium-low heat until nearly playdough is nearly set (i.e. no liquid is sloshing around your pot. Mixture beginning to hold itself together). Be careful not to let the bottom scorch!
Add:
2 Tbsp. imitation vanilla extract
Stir until vanilla is blended.
(The vanilla extract seems improve the texture and adds a nice scent as well.)
