Play do is a lot of fun. I did not even know you could make it yourself.
I’ve read and heard so many good things about Seventh Generation products. I’ll jot it down so I remember to get some. Thanks for grandma’s play-doh recipe. Mine got lost a few years ago. It is fun to make things with safe ingredients.
I love that you not only made the play doh but were using vintage kitchen tools to play with it! What a resourceful Mom and you look to have a very happy little tyke too!
Oh how fun! Trying to make my own play doh would be a blast. I think the nieces would love it!
Thanks so much for sharing this fun play doh recipe. I’ll have to make some of this for the kids. It’s so easy, too.
Thanks for sharing this recipe. My two little nieces are scheduled to come over later in the week. I’ll have to make up some of this.
I despise the smell of traditional play doh and I’m sure this homemade version is a lot more natural. My kids would love the ability to customize the color of their dough too.
My kids would love this. They love creating with play-doh!
