Car Crayons: crayons melted into car shapes by Hammer&Thread.

Play Doh Recipe (via Hammer&Thread):

1 cup Flour
1/2 cup Salt
2 tsp Cream of Tartar
2 Tbs Vegetable oil
1 cup of water dyed with food coloring

Mix everything together in a Non-stick pot. Stir over medium heat. It will look really soupy when you start but then suddenly it will come together. When it clumps into a ball dump it onto a cutting board to cool.
