Play dough has passed the test of time! Children of all ages delight on poking, pulling and forming this wonderful substance. Try varying the experience by adding a few drops of scented extract (lemon, mint, lavender, etc.) to the water before cooking. Or add glitter to the mixture for a sparkling surprise!

Store in a covered container or a ziplock bag.
