      I made some of this for the kids during a time when everyone was in town for a funeral. Everyone was so down and this really helped perk the kids up and let them enjoy themselves for a few hours. I wish I still had the pictures of the wonderful creations they made. We discovered that one little girl was really quite the artist. She discovered a talent she didn't know she had. It was great!

      So much better, and cheaper than the kind in the little yellow bucket. Kids loved playing with it. I keep it in the fridge when not using it, and it has lasted for about 6 months so far. Thanks.

      I used Orange Ginger Massage Oil from Bath & Body Works instead of the cooking oil, the smell is intoxicating. I was worried about the clumping when I first started to cook it but it was not a problem in the end. My 4 ½ yr old is rolling and cutting out shapes as we speak. This quick and easy and MUCH better than store bought, I will make a lot more of this for her. Thank you!

      This is a fantastic recipe! You end up with about four times as much as you get in a can of the bought play-do The texture is fabulous and it lasts a long time. My four-year-old is having a ball playing with it. I used spearmint flavoring for the scent. I added one teaspoon of alum because I had used it previously as a "magic" ingredient in playdough, and it turned out fine. You can double the oil if you prefer a moister dough, but either way works great. Don't double the recipe, because it is a bit unwieldy. One batch is quite a lot!

      Wow! This is awesome playdough! The other recipe I have is way too sticky. This is perfect! I doubled the recipe because I have 3 kids playing, and they like to make lots of "cookies." :o) Came together very quickly.

      This is great! My son is about to turn two and I needed some little surprise to give him for sleeping in his big boy bed for the first time! So when he woke up I had this ready for him... he was very hesitant at first... not only because he has never played with any type of playdough before, but also because he is very weird about touching things like this... but after a while he really warmed up to it and had a blast squishing it and cutting out shapes with our cookie cutters. I felt the texture was perfectly soft, though I do hate that dried crusty residue that is left on your hands... I made ours pink, and purple... was going for red but didn't put enough coloring in... And I scented ours with cherry and vanilla. It is great to have a new thing to do with my son, and not have to worry about toxins! Ours cooked up super quickly, and I will definitely make this again and again!

      Fun one to do. My daughter liked it - it was fun for her to decide what color and scent she wanted it. Inexpensive as well. Thanks again. We will be making this again.

      Great fun. Super easy. Food colorings blended in little groups by hand on the table, after cooking. I used apricot oil for the cooking oil mixed w/ lavendar and chamemile, to relax hyper nerves. Added a touch of vanilla. Smelled heavenly. Great texture! Kids wanted to eat it!

      Great! We used orange extract and blue food coloring (we were going for orange but red and yellow turned it pink for some reason so we added a lot of blue and got aquamarine). My 3 year old DS is enthralled! It does make your hands a little oil coated, but maybe that will stop as it cools off. Thanks!

      This is wonderful! I like the texture of this playdough alot better than the storebought kind. My kids loved watching it "transform" from a liquid into a solid. We used baby oil and it smelled soooo nice. Make sure you keep stirring and cooking until all the stickiness is gone. Thanks so much for this recipe!

      This is a nice smooth recipe. My 1 year old loves it and its okay if she eats it, which usually happens. It's quick and easy to make. I usually cook it on med-hi to speed up the process, but you will have to continually stir to keep it from sticking to the bottom.
