Homemade Playdough!

I wanted to share the playdough recipe I use for you to try at home! This is the recipe I follow when making playdough to bring into the class. You can easily make it at home, give it any colour you want (using food colouring), and it's much cheaper than buying it at the store.

It does require using a pot on the stove, so you may want to make this a family project. The food colouring can be added after the playdough has cooled, and I find it fun to mix colours of food colouring to see if you can create a new colour!

This playdough can last for months when stored in an airtight container or plastic bag.

Have fun making Playdough!
