Directions:
Mix all of your dry ingredients (flour, salt, cream of tartar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves) in your mixing bowl.
Add one cup of water to a separate microwave-safe bowl and microwave until it's boiling.
Add oil and vanilla extract to your water and mix around, then add the water slowly to your dry ingredients bowl, mixing continually. Don't worry about any clumps in this step, you'll be able to fix them in the next step.
When all the water has been added, remove from the bowl onto the counter, and kneed until all of the ingredients are mixed well, and it's cool enough for small hands.
When done playing, put the dough into an airtight container to keep longer.

Notes
Cream of tartar is used as a preservative. I recommend using it, but the recipe will still work without it. Without it, I wouldn't recommend keeping the dough longer than a few days.

Although it smells amazing, it tastes awful! Don't eat it, please!

Always supervise children when playing with this dough.
