1/2 cup salt
3 tablespoons of vegetable oil

HOW TO MAKE 5 MINUTE NO-COOK LEMON AND EUCALYPTUS PLAY DOUGH
1. In a large bowl, add the flour, salt, cream of tartar and vegetable oil and mix together.
2. Slowly add the boiling water to the bowl and mix until thoroughly combined.
3. Remove the play dough from the bowl and divide into two equal portions.
4. To one half of the play dough, add a few drops of yellow food colouring and the lemon juice. To the second half of the play dough add a few drops of green food colouring and eucalyptus oil.
5. Knead the two batches until the colour is mixed through evenly and the play dough is smooth.
That’s it! You are now ready to play!
Did you know the reason our national colours are green and gold? They were inspired by the colours of the Golden Wattle!
