Playdough Recipe



This was from the Once Upon a Child newsletter. It is your basic playdough or play-do recipe. Even though it is home-made, it smells exactly like the stuff that you get from a store. Kids love to make stuff, since cooking is like magic.. so it is a fun project for you and your child (or children).
