This is a great activity when the kids are bored. They can make it and add whatever colors they like. It is also a fun way to teach kids about color combinations. I don't know that it saves a whole lot of money, it is cheaper but Playdough is pretty cheap!
1 Cup Flour
1/2 Cup salt
2 tsp cream of tarter
1 T oil
1 Cup Water
Put all of the ingredients in a pot and cook over LOW heat. Don't try to hurry this up, it is science. Stir till it all comes together. Add coloring of your choice. You can do it before, during or after you cook it. Just remember if you add it after, your hands will likely turn the color until it really gets mixed in to the playdough. I recommend mixing the ingredients in a bowl really well and then cooking smaller portions at a time and making the colors you want that way. Once they are the right colors and the dough has cooked then cooled off, the kids can combine the playdough together to make the other colors they may want.
