Edible Playdough

Ingredients:
1 box name brand white cake mix
1 stick soft but not melted margarine
+ - 3 tablespoons water
Mix cake mix and margarine in large bowl. When it is well mixed add 1 teaspoon of water at a time and mix until the desired consistency. I give each child a plastic zip seal bag for storage (if there's any left!)
