Homemade Playdough

John has been using Play-doh often lately, making some really neat (recognizable!) objects, such as pizzas with various toppings, a bird's nest with eggs, and a dinosaur with teeth. On Thursday we made homemade playdough for the first time (using this recipe): I had no idea the project was so inexpensive and easy!




The resulting playdough seems of excellent quality, although I suppose I'll know more as the weeks go by and we see how long it stays supple.


Mary's first words upon coming down to the kitchen this morning were: "Can we check on our playdough please?"

  2. Pretty colors! That looks like the recipe we use to make ours. Stored well, it lasts basically indefinitely. Did you add scent? We like to add seasonal scents to ours: pumpkin, peppermint, etc. Have fun!

  3. What a neat idea! I never would have thought of that!
