Make classic play dough at home with this DIY recipe (VIDEO)

But what I don't love is the finding half of an $8 pack of the stuff dried out after the kids have touched it twice and forgotten to pop on the tops. The solution? DIY it. With a few typical pantry items and some glitter, you have an easy-to-make and inexpensive way to entertain the kiddos.

Ingredients:

• Food coloring
• 1 cup flour
• 1 cup water
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup salt
• 1 tablespoon cream of tartar
• Glitter

Directions:

1. Add water, oil, cream of tartar, salt and food coloring into a pan.
2. Heat mixture until warm.
3. Remove from stove.
4. Add flour.
5. Stir and knead, adding in glitter.
6. Store in a zip-close bag or airtight container.
