Storing Home Made Play Dough

My grandkids and my preschool students LOVE play-dough.

I used to be that mom that disliked play dough......sorry my darling grown children, lol! It was messy, stuck in the carpet, crumbled, dried out fast, and the smell was icky.

Fast forward to my days teaching preschool and this homemade recipe I received from my Sister-in-Love from Idaho. It's the best homemade recipe I've ever tried. It's fail-proof and smells divine. Not to mention it holds its shape for weeks.

At home, I store it in these cute old play-dough cups.  I keep them in this fun candle holder I bought at Frisco Mercantile a few years back. Joanna Gaines uses these holders for crayons in her show, Fixer Upper. "Wannabe Joanna" lol.

Here's the recipe as I promised on IG and FB this morning:

• 2 1/2 cups white flour

• 1/2 cup salt

• 2 packages any color Kool-aid/generic is fine

• 3 Tbsp oil

• 2 cups boiling water

• combine in a glass or metal bowl, mix well, keep stored in airtight container for up to three weeks.

Let me know what your favorite recipe is!

Happy Monday,

Lisa
