I just uncovered the oddest thing – a TON of pictures I took for a blog post that I meant to publish last fall….and then completely forgot about it! I can see why – for some reason I have a bajillion photos illustrating the process. Apparently I was delirious! Seeing as how most of my blog posts are WORD heavy. 🙂
So, without further ado, here is a pictorial of a homemade playdough recipe I cooked with my 4-year-old daughter including a recipe card about half way down the page.
It was seriously soooo easy to make and lasted a REALLY long time. I think we made this in October/November, and I just now threw away the last few pieces of it (in April). So I’d say that’s a long shelf life! 🙂
Happy play dough making!!!
