I don't think cream of tartar is necessary. I've made many batches of clay without it.
However, cream of tartar can be found in the spice section of most grocery stores.
Homemade clay is much less expensive than playdough or any other clay that you buy.

Frankly, I don't remember which one I used -- it's probably been 20 years. I suggest you choose one of the recipes and make a small batch to see how well it works.
A word on sugar cubes. They're a great idea, but I remember one student used sugar cubes for Hatshepsut's temple and it took her and her aunt many, many hours to complete it. It looked great -- but they hadn't counted on it being so time-consuming.
