Quick, easy, and my boys love it. They especially liked getting to pick out what colors they wanted. I did only make 2/3 of the recipe and I also added 1 tsp of almond extract to the dough while it was cooking just so that it didn’t have that super strong “homemade playdough” smell.

I made this with a friend and her daughter and it was a huge hit. I was so thrilled to see it was exactly like the real thing! I will never buy play dough again! Thanks so much!

Liquid food coloring is fine unless you use too much, like with coloring red. Red seems to take the most to reach it’s color so I would avoid red, the rest should be fine.

this looks like fun! I have regular food coloring (not the paste) would it work or would it be too much liquid?

I worked for years as a daycare teacher and the kids loved when we would make play dough! I now make it for my own kids, and they have a great time. I love the way it feels when it’s still warm. I always store it in a ziploc bag or old bowl with a tight-fitting lid. It lasts a very long time! Thanks for submitting the recipe…I can never remember where I put my copy!

Yes! The dining room table is always spread with colorful creations! I am the always trying to guard the playdough from ‘mixing’. Just can’t bear to see the colors fade into ugly brown.

This will last a long time if stored well – airtight – probably a year. Of course, if it’s being played with for hours and hours everday it may not last a year. But it’s fun and inexpensive to make.

Those colors are gorgeous, so vibrant! My Mom used to make me play dough when I was little, I would take over the whole dining room table with my creations.
