Play Dough - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 c. flour
1/2 c. salt
2 tsp. cream of tartar
1 Tbsp. oil
1 c. water
few drops of food coloring
few drops of peppermint flavoring (optional)

Preparation

Take twelve fine, full-grown months.
See that these are thoroughly free from all old memories of bitterness, rancor, hate and jealousy.
Cleanse them completely from every clinging spite. Pick off all specks of pettiness and littleness.
In short, see that these months are free from all the past.
Have them as fresh and clean as when they first came from the great storehouse of time.
Cut each month into thirty or thirty-one equal parts.
This batch will keep for just one year.
Do not attempt to make up the whole batch at one time, as so many persons spoil it in doing so.
