Grandma’s Soft Homemade Play-Doh

As a child, I have so many wonderful memories visiting my grandma. Every time I arrived at her house, I knew one thing was certain: a warm batch of soft homemade Play-Doh would be waiting for me.

Just as my grandma’s homemade Play-Doh was one of my very favorite childhood memories, I’ve enjoyed carrying on the tradition with my own kids. Ready in a matter of minutes, your children will adore playing with Grandma’s Soft Homemade Play-Doh; after-all, if a recipe comes from grandma, you know it’s amazing!
