If you have never made homemade playdough, you should try it! It is so easy to do, and the texture is much better than store-bought. I mixed up a couple of batches for my daughter and her cousin yesterday when they were bored…and it entertained them for an hour. Make a batch of homemade playdough, put it in a cute bag and attach some accessories for a fun child’s gift!

Homemade Playdough

Boil 1 cup water. Then add:

1/4 c. salt
1 Tbl. alum powder
1 Tbl. baby oil
food coloring of your choice

Then stir in 1 c. flour. Add a little more if needed. Knead together. Cool and store in an air tight container.
