The easy peasy no cook is the best one in terms of ease to make and the texture is really good as well. If you don’t have cream of tartar our recipe at http://www.naturalparentingtips.com/creative-play/no-cream-tartar-playdough-recipe/ shows you a substitute, but it is essentially the same recipe as above.
