Home made playdough?

in October 2011 Moms

Anyone have any luck with this?  Got a recipe on Pinterest, and I thought I'd give it a whirl, but wanted to ask for your words of wisdom first

    My former SM and I used to make it all the time when I was younger.  I loved the smell of it!  It dries out easy, so make sure it's stored properly.

    I've made it but can never seem to get it to store right. Plus I F'ing hate play dough so we don't do it often.

    I just did this one (skipping the koolaid) and it worked really well. I love that it doesn't require cooking

    I've made it with those ingredients. It works really well, store it in tupperware to keep longer.

    Nice, thanks for the recipe, aliciaroset.  Lopes, how can you hate play dough?  It's so much fun!  We tried it the other day outside, and of course I was more into it than C was.  He took a bite out of the red, so it really made me want to make my own so I know exactly what is in it.

    I made this one:

    I love it! Made it over a year ago and it's still as soft as the day I made it. I have it stored in Tupperware [those cheap gladware containers] then I have them in a ziploc bag also. I made like 5 colors and I used the gel food coloring.

    It's so messy in the house and outside it grosses me out because I feel like its getting all full of pollen and dirt lol. And once there was a peice still stuck to the deck table by accident and it messed up the finish on the glass. I do like silly putty though.

    We have tried a few non-cooking recipes. I have never gotten anywhere near store-bought quality but it's cheap and fun so my kids don't care. I picked up an accessories set and some cookie cutters at the dollar spot and they go nuts with it.

    Ditto this.

    As a side note, my MIL likes to make playdough with peppermint extract in it to make it smell better.  It's a nice thought I suppose, but what the heck do you think a little toddler is going to do with a big handful of delicious smelling dough in her hands?  Hmmmm?  HMMMMM?  ::sigh::

    LOL!!  He already took a big bite out of some, and it wasn't even flavored or scented.  It's a good thought for the older kiddos, though.

    Good ideas about storage!
