  1. I tried this recipe and it looks like pudding. I had to add way more flour to play with. Is there something I’m missing? 

  2. I thank you so much for sharing your recipe. I am an English preschool teacher in Greece. The kids absolutely love it!!! And so do I

  3. I just tried this recipie + added food colouring, 6 drops lavender and a small container of sparkles!! I had to add about 1/4 cup flower. Turned out perfect!  

  4. The only thing I don’t like is that the playdough is SUPER hot so you have to wait a good 10 minutes for it to cool down

  5. I have a 21-month-old daughter and I have been looking for some playdough recipes. Thanks a lot!
