I am looking for a recipe that I can give my DS when the baby comes to help entertain him, and that wont kill him when/if he takes a nibble.  ) 

I would like to scent it, too...

I was thinking yellow-Lemon extract, red-cinnamon, etc? Any ideas?

This is the recipe I use.  It works great.

1 cup white flour
1/2 cup salt
2 tablespoon cream of tartar
1 tablespoon oil
1 cup water
food coloring

Mix first 4 ingredients in a pan. Add water and mix well. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, for 3 ? 5 minutes. Dough will become difficult to stir and form a ?clump?.  Remove from stove and knead for 5 minutes?add food coloring during kneading process. Play dough will keep for a long time stored in a covered plastic container or plastic sandwich bag.

I've scented it with cinnamon.  You could also try vanilla or peppermint extract.

Applesauce Cinnamon Dough

1/2 c cinnamon
1/2 c applesauce
ziploc baggie

pour stuff into baggie, zip up and knead 'till you have a dough, once you've made stuff let it air dry for about 12 hours - smells so nice :-)

What we did was roll it out and used cookie cutters to make ornaments.

Tubtime Crayons

1 bar of ivory soap, grated
1/4 c really warm water
4-6 drops food coloring

mix water, soap, and food coloring, stir 'till it begins to stiffin, then remove and knead 'till consistency is smooth and thick

I make sorta tootsie roll shapes, you could also use an ice tray or whatever for the shape you want, cookie cuters, etc then place in the freezer for about 10 min.

let them sit overnight to dry out or at least 'till they get kinda hard

**you get tub crayons and soap all in one**
