My little one loves play doh. I used to buy it at stores very often, since my little one throw it at random places and when i find those, it is hard and unusable. So i have to keep buying it often, which i found a waste of money. So i decided to make it at home. I would say this is a fool proof recipe and it is just amazing. I have once made a cooked version, this one is more easy that that. Plus you have the satisfication that it is kids friendly.
Even if you have the toddler who puts everything in mouth, this is completely safe. In that case you can use food grade food colour, i used painting colours. This play doh is so soft, easy to work with, long lasting and kids friendly. Hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you.
